If you stand it up use a Fosters can it is wide enough to hold the bird. If you lay it down you can use a normal size can and poke a hole in the can while holding it horizontal.

I was thinking the same thing...."it would have to be a BIG can-o-beer".
Dont know if it would work good or not. Try it, let us know.
Happy Q`in.

We sell em that big up here in Canada, they are the same as three cans and they are about 9 inches tall they would be perfect for turkey.

I can ship them to you, empty of beer of course for just $19.95 plus shipping and handling... Laughing

A turkeys ass is much bigger than a chickens ass as you well know. Season the same and use a can of Fosters Ale. Drink a few while you wait. Smoke until juice runs clear.

The purpose of the beer can is moisture. Paul Kirk has a recipe in his book for turkey. You stuff it with Apples and onions for moisture. I tried this and it turned out really good. It's a gimme in my book. Can't screw it up.
