Excellent suggestion jennyema. Food safe 5 gallon buckets are less than 5 dollars (with lid) at Home Depot and they can be used for hundreds of other purposes. I have 10 or so I use for many things. Storage mostly.
I just filled one up with water an hour ago for the herbs I brought inside for the winter.
I brine 2 ginormous turkeys every year and I use coolers lined with XXL ziplock bags (which, i like to say, you can fit a golden retriever in). I put them out on the porch but you can brine anywhere as long as youhave cold packs and moniter the temp.
