Last Thanksgiving, my father prepared a turkey in his smoker. He soaked hickory chips and put them in a charcoal grill along
with the turkey. The results were fantastic. The next day he cleaned the grill and threw the burned charcoal into the trash can in the workshop. A day later we walked out to the shop. When we opened the door, a huge billow of black smoke and heat poured out. After a few minutes, the air was clear enough for us to get in and open the large garage door. The entire shop was coated in black soot and in the middle of the floor sat a 3-ft. circle of melted plastic and ash—all that was left of his 35-gallon plastic trash can. He now discards his ashes outside—in the fire pit!
