TRASH CAN TALK In the Fall 2013 issue, there’s a tip about a trash can turkey cooker. My son does this all the time. Please inform the reader- ship not to use a galvanized trash can. Use a steel 15-gallon oil drum that has been burned out and washed. Matt Staack, Leisure Point Resort, Delaware I've never seen a metal trash can that is not either painted or galvanized. In the first instance, putting a fire in a painted trash can will not only expose anyone in the vicinity to the fumes from burning paint, there is the danger of the paint actually igniting. In the second case, galvanizing is the process of coating metal with zinc, a deadly heavy metal. Overheating the galvanizing ex- poses anyone in the vicinity to heavy metal poisoning.
