Reply With QuotePre cook it! Then just reheat. Much easier when camping.
Also I heard you can wrap it in foil and bury it in a pit with coals all over it, but I would be afraid of getting it dirty!
anyone ever done it or have any ideas?
i used to do it all the time on a weber grill at roosevelt lake. we could go out on boat all day and leave it unattended.
i am trying to find a way to do it without having to drag a weber along.
any ideas?

We do sand turkeys at Glamis for Thanksgiving. Dig a hole, build a fire and let it burn down, wrap the turkey in foil, use coat hangers twisted around to make a cradle/basket to lower it into the hole and cover it up. Leave it alone for 6-8 hours, come back, dig it up and eat. Oh yeah, and drink alot of beer while you're digging to keep hydrated.
Or, you could always just deep fry it. From raw to cooked in 45 minutes or less.
it doesnt get dirty or gritty??

Where's Infomaniac?
When we go to Glamis,, it's deep frying.
Campstove and a huge pot of peanut oil.
Tried the pit method several years ago when we went out to California City for Thanksgiving.
("Several", as in there wasn't a city out there then. Just the roads and streets graded. Made for excellent flat-tracking practice.
Had the pit burning all night. Put the turkey in about 8 AM. Dug it up around 4 PM. Still raw as the day it was plucked.
First and last attempt at pittting a bird. frown
