A friend of mine used a one inch pipe, drilled a hole in the pipe and inserted a smaller piece of pipe so that when it was driven into the ground, the "T" shape was about 6 inches from the ground. This kept the turkey from sliding down, I think this is a better solution than the ball of foil which I used.]]> Mon, 17 Oct 2011 10:54:43 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2167&PID=20265#20265 Trash Can Turkey : Never mind the question of the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2167&PID=20251#20251 Author: tpierce220

Thanks, Gerald! I think that this would be perfect to make!

What was the stake made out of?

I reloaded the pictures for you. They are now there.]]> Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:29:01 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2167&PID=20208#20208 Trash Can Turkey : Originally posted by rpodcamper.commm... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2167&PID=20205#20205 Author: Gerald

This seems to be a more realistic cooking time. I just found this cooking time on a Google search, wish I had this before. Oh well, next time it will be even juicier at only 2 hours cooking time.

Something else on the cooking time would depend on the tempature outside as you are cooking this. ]]> Thu, 13 Oct 2011 18:41:33 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2167&PID=20177#20177 Trash Can Turkey : mm I miss them.

Wonder why that would be. Here is the cooking times I used to go by:

Cooking Times:

10 lbs 50 mins
12 lbs 1hr
14 lbs 1hr 25mins
16 lbs 1hr 40mins
18 lbs 2hrs 5 mins

We took along a small bar fridge to store the leftovers. It was either that or take all the beer out of the POD's fridge. LOL

The stake was a 3 foot long 1 inch dowel pounded half way into the ground. Next time we won't use it in the fire pit. Was too difficult to move the charcoal away from the can before removing.

Wow that looks soooo good! drool.

Was there room to store all those leftovers in the pod fridge?

What did you use as a stake to prevent it from falling over?

Our first attempt at trash can turkey on Thanksgiving's camping trip.

The instructions called for 1 1/2 to 2 hours for a 10 to 12 pound turkey. Ours was 18 pounds so we let it cook for 2 1/2 hours. Overcooked it by 1/2 hour, it was still moist but falling off the bone. Couldn't believe it cooked so fast. It was still awesome.

Prepare the stake

Place turkey on stake

Cover with new trash can. (steralize can first by burning)

Place charcoal on top (Bottom) and along sides.

Place potatoes and squash on coals

Cooked turkey (falling off bone but moist)

Perfect camping meal
