Turkey cooker

This is a turkey cooker. My dad has used these for years, but got rid of his last one when he moved. A friend at the museum helped us cut the pipes to reconstruct this.



Charcoal will go into the wire baskets at the bottom of the legs.



The turkey is wired up so it can hang inside the frame.




A chain hangs down from an eyebolt in the center of the frame.


Charcoal goes into the wire baskets.


The charcoal is lit first. Additional coals will be added every 45 minutes.




The frame is then wrapped in aluminum foil.


Keep wraping...




You can feel the heat radiating up.



It will cook in 3-4 hours and be delicious!
