Prepping the area ...........place small stones on a flat surface wider then a 30 gal garbage can......Line the area with heavy duty tin foil......hammer a piece of dowel or wooden broomstick into the ground in the center of the prepared area, deep enough to stand the bird, but not tall enough so as to poke a hole out the top of the bird...............
Here are the steps.
1. Prep the area: lay down enough foil to cover the area of the can... drive a green stick, just long enough to go a few inches into the ground and long enough to not poke trough the top of the bird, in the center. wrap it in foil...
2. Start 10# of charcoal...
3. Prep the birds..you can use most any kind of seasonings or injection you like..you don't have to as they are great plain, be sure to cover the wing tips with foil you can also put a small piece right on top this keeps thes parts from burning.
4. When the charcoal is white hot place the bird on the stick and center the can over the top of it..add a couple of rows of coals around the bottom edge of the can and a layer on top...
5. Have a couple of beers and relax..then when about 30 min have passed replace the burned down charcoal with unburned pieces..do this every 15 min for the next hour...
Cooking time and charcoal consumption depends on how big the bird is..roughly a 10# bird cooks in about 1 hour, a 20#er in about 2 hours...the largest I have done is a 25 in 2 1/2 hours and used 25# of charcoal..you'll have left over burn coals in any case...hope y'all give this a try..
