Took the fam camping this year for thanksgiving and decided to try this method for turkey since it looked easy to do. Burned off the galvanization a few days before the trip, wrapped a stick in foil and ran it through the bird. Used a whole 20lb bag of charcoal and about 2 hours later we hit our target temp.
For how easy it was, this was super delicious, moist, and everyone that had it was blown away how stress free it was to make. Definitely recommend!

You did in a trash can what people with $3000 ovens struggle to accomplish. Bravo.
That’s some manly shit there. Id love to go for a camp where I’m not the cook. Great job man.
id say that’s way more charcoal then needed but awesome i love different styles. could drill some holes and run some hooks on top and do some ribs as well.
Yes cheff!!! Well done!
Please tell me that’s not galvanized.
~~Boy~~ Scouts cooked four turkeys and two hams this way for the rest of the troop this year.
Super cool. Any idea what the temp is inside while it cooks?
Nice
That’s awesome man. That’s a beautiful bird hard to believe it was that easy but I do.

Hmm I have an old keg with the top cut off. Might have to try this
Thats some awesome hillybilly shit! Goodonya! Smart idea staking the turkey so it won’t come back to life.
Looks good!
