Steps:
- Start 20 pounds of charcoal on fire.
- Line ground with foil to extend 10" beyond the diameter of the trash can.
- Place the turkey on the stake so it is hanging 2" off the ground (legs pointing down).
- Rub seasonings into skin as desired.
- Place trash can upside down over turkey.
- Shovel burning charcoal around the outside of the can and also enough to make one layer on top of inverted can.
- Keep adding charcoal so can stays hot.
- Check turkey after 2 1/2 hours.
- Additional cooking may be required depending on the size and wind.
- HINT: To capture the juices, place a bundt pan under the turkey slide down the stake before putting the turkey on the stake.
- Instead of the wooden stake you can also use a steel rod that has had a cross piece welded to the top.
- It should look like a long legged T.

GARBAGE CAN TURKEY
Not the conventional way of cooking a turkey, but the results are amazing and the bird tastes wonderful. Seasoning can be added, but is not necessary.

Steps:
- Lay about 3 long sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil out on the grass to make a square about 3x3 feet. Pound the wooden stake into the ground in the center of the aluminum foil.
- Fill the lid of the garbage can with a large pile of charcoal, and light. Place the whole turkey (thawed of course) onto the stake, legs down. Turn the garbage can upside down, and place over the turkey. Place piles of lighted coals on the top, and around the sides of the can.
- Cook for at least 1 1/2 hours, or keep going until coals go out. Do not lift can during cooking. Brush the charcoal off of the can, and lift off carefully as some heat may rush out when you lift the can. The internal temperature of the turkey should be at least 180 degrees F (83 degrees C) when taken in the thickest part of the thigh.

A whole turkey roasted upright on a stake under a metal trash can. The moistest, tastiest turkey I've ever eaten. This is a Boy Scout Recipe. It's just great!

Steps:
- To brine the turkey, thoroughly clean the trash can with food-grade cleaner. Dry. Then add 3 gallons water, the salt, pepper, herbs and turkey. Finally, squeeze the lemons into the brine. Add some ice and allow the turkey to brine for 12 to 24 hours, re-icing during the process to keep temperature below 40 degrees F. This brining is optional.
- To cook the bird, remove from the brine and pat dry with towels. Or, for the non-brine option, remove the bird from the package, pat dry with towels, and apply the salt and pepper to the exterior of the bird.
- Next, place foil on level ground to form a 3-foot-square area. Place a stake in the ground and place the turkey on the stake, legs first. Cover the turkey with the trash can and apply half the coals on top of can with the remainder tightly around the base of the can.
- Light the coals evenly and allow the coals to warm until hot, then set the timer for 90 minutes and relax.
- After 90 minutes, carefully remove the coals with a turner or fireplace shovel and uncover. Remove the turkey and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
