One can also run down to places such as sams, wally world, local restaurants etc..and ask them for some old food grade 5 gallon buckets. I have some that had frosting, pickles etc in them. Most come with lids to which is a good thing since you might need to add ice to the water to keep the meat etc.. cold. My fridge is usually full up over the holidays and I use this method to brine up turkeys, fish, etc.. without the fridge. They work great!!!
