I've owned two of these for quite some time now...I inject the Turkey the night before just like I do for our Cajun Deep Fried...Rub down the outside with Cajun Spices...Then I use a "Turkey Sitter" filled with plenty of peeled garlic cloves and beer to mount it instead of the holder provided...One full bag of Matchlite Charcoal and then about 3~4LBs of regular after an hour or two...JUST three hours and you'll have the juiciest and most flavorful bird you can imagine...Deep mahogany colored...Note: I make a wire handle, going under the wings to use as a "Lifter"...Guests are always amazed to see you lift out a full cooked bird...13~14LB birds are best...

These are currently $36 on Amazon and when you take into account that a cheap (re-usable) turkey roasting pan costs at least $20 this is already a bargain. But wait, this contraption will also allow you to cook your turkey without the use of a gas (or electric) oven and without using 5-gallons of frying oil! And the turkey will come out golden and delicious (with seasoning, of course.)
I could not find any information on what type of charcoal to use before opening the box. Inside, the instructions do state that this is not meant for instant light type of charcoal and advises against using it. For my first run, I wound up using a charcoal chimney with regular charcoal briquets mixed with lump charcoal. I filled my charcoal chimney about 80% with regular briquets and topped it off with lump charcoal. It took about 10 minutes for my chimney to get the charcoal ashy white. I put in the 13-lb turkey (dry rubbed with garlic pepper and herbs) and put the coals all around and let it sit for 2.5 hours.
The turkey came out moist and delicious.
The lump charcoal was still going strong (about 50% spent) in the pan so I combined them and snuffed them out so I could use them another time.
Great turkey contraption. I am looking forward to trying this with other foods and taking it camping!
Best Deals for Landmann Rocket Roaster Charcoal Cooker
My wife and I bought the Landmann Rocket Roaster at TSC (Tractor Supply Company) on sale for $15.95. We opened the box and took everything out. I kind of wondered about the thin sheet metal and the tapered cylinder was slightly out-of-round. This can be tweaked by hand. But mine is still slightly out-of-round. My wife bought a 14lb turkey that we thawed in the refrigerator for a couple of days. I couldn't believe that this thin sheet metal cooker would really cook that big of a turkey ... no matter the time limit. However, I trimmed the neck-flap skin, removed the giblets, rubbed the turkey with sage, and put it on the tripod stand. I loaded plain charcoal around the base (my wife nixed the tinfoil liner idea) and put a generous amount of charcoal on top. The local dollar store didn't have charcoal lighter fluid, so I had to make a 6-mile trip to the nearest supermarket. I sprayed the charcoal with the starter fluid, lit it with one of those gas/piezo starter things (keeping my fingers safely away from flames), and when I started seeing gray ash on the corners I used a couple of hotpads to lift the top off .. inserted the turkey .. and put the top back on. I forgot to pick some rosemary from the garden and put it in the infusers before I started the fire. So, I just left it alone and went to watch a movie. I figured that when all was said and done, I could roast it in the regular oven or my Flavor-Wave oven. 2 hrs 45 min later (yes, I forgot and it ran over-time), I took the top off and removed the turkey. I was greatly surprised to find it extremely well done! The drip pan in the bottom was filled with juices. Everything smelled wonderful. When we cracked through the dry skin, more juices poured out. Tender, delicious, and well-cooked. I can't wait to use the Rocket Roaster basket for a beef roast and some vegetables. So, the construction wasn't absolutely perfect, but the product (Rocket Roaster) works extremely well (with only $2 or less of charcoal).
Honest reviews on Landmann Rocket Roaster Charcoal Cooker
I purchased the Rocket Roaster the other day and was excited to use today. 2.5 hours later, I pulled out the 7 pound chicken and it was a golden brown color. I let it rest for 15 minutes and cut off a leg. The meat was moist, tender and flavorful due to the garlic and hotsauce injection. The only dissapointment was the meat was slightly smoked. I will try to use finer and dried woodchips next time to see what happens. The good thing about this product, anyone can cooked a great looking bird that is moist and tender. I cant wait until Thanksgiving and load it with a 14 pound turkey.
