Once, in Bali."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Because at least one of my siblings has to be chaotic and self centered (long story), I am now hosting Thanksgiving at my smallish place with 5 days notice instead of at my mom's house. This presents me with 2 issues that I normally don't deal with in regards to the turkey:
1) I don't have the fridge space to brine the turkey overnight. I normally use a large oven bag i put the turkey and brine in, place it in a huge pot and pop it in the fridge. My parents have 3 refrigerators and space was never an issue. I have a fridge that works for a 2 adult + 2 child household. Add Thanksgiving foods to the mix and it's just not feasible. I have a large home depot bucket that I could use. Has anyone brine a turkey in a bucket by adding ice? I could put it outside overnight. I'm still thinking this through.
2) I have a gas oven that works ok. I have never made a turkey in this oven, but cooking a whole chicken has always been a struggle. It doesn’t cook evenly. I have always used Alton Brown's turkey triangle method, using my mom's electric oven. I am a bit worried how this will work in my oven. Good times.

I brine my Turkey in a 5 gallon bucket every year. I leave it outside, and depending on how cold it is I’ll add ice."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Yup - brine in a 5-gallon bucket works great. I do have a big fridge and I still use the bucket and just set it in the garage. If I need to add ice because of the temp I’ll just put it in the brine. No problemo.
Don’t have any advice for the oven. I was going to do a spatchcock turkey on the Trager this year but then we got strong-armed into going to my sister’s house. So now we’re on mashed potato and salad duty and my sister’s husband is in command of the turkey.
