Look at the second pic you can see the charcoal around the can. Takes 20lbs of charcoal.
 
OK, a) that pic with all teh food on teh table is makin' me terrible hongry. DANG, that looks good. 2) I'm with cc - how zackly do you cook it? I see the charcoal around the bottom of the can, but where's the turkey? As in, is it on a rack inside the can? Is it high? Low? Are there any holes in the can?

I will close by saying if you were any sort of a Christian person, I would have been invited to this feast. :sobbingbitterly:

I do a rub on the turkey, and sometimes use cajun injection. It is by far the best tasting and juicest turkey you will ever have.
 
Wow my husband will love this. Playing with fire, drinking beer, and I still get a healthy turkey! (I hate those fried ones, besides the fact the grease and fire freak me out)
 
Ladies - please make sure you buy a new trashcan before you turn the recipe over to your hubbies. I'm just sayin.....

Aw, hell, that crap on the sides'll dry right up with that heat and you'll never know a thing. HAHAHAHAHAA
