We’re going to be trying the garbage can method next weekend at scout camp.

Pound a stake deep in the ground.
Place turkey, butt first onto the stake
Place a steel trash can over the bird
Ring around the trash can with one complete bag of charcoal
Place some charcoal on top of can.
Walk away for 2-3 hours

Do you have to light the charcoal?

make sure that garbage can hasn't been galvanized the fumes are very toxic to the point of causing severe repository damage or death

That method sounds like a poor man’s caja china. That’s the next thing I’m looking at trying cooking with.
