Hey folks,
I'm am already anticipating a hefty wave of 'no', but I wonder if one could use a clean (new) metal/galvanized trash can as a boil kettle.
I've heard a little bit about the risk of zinc, but I believe that you'd need to get the temps pretty high to start having issues, and I think the levels of zinc would even be within reason (maybe even good for you, as with the trace amounts of iodine for iodophore users).
I've seen people do the turkey boil, and I've heard of people using them as smokers, but I am really curious about their effectiveness and safety as boil kettles.
