It would cook it, the springs are hot and acidic enough. You’d just have to sit for a long while. Edibility depends on your allergies and tolerance for poisons.
Doesn’t seem safe to try to get your cock in it while it’s in the hot spring. Maybe you could find a way to make it could actually work…but why? Are you a masochist or something?
Is it at all edible?
Sous vide method would probably have the most chance Of being edible since the turkey would be vacuum sealed
Is there any environmental impact or downside?
Yes. That’s why the park service is saying not to do this. You’d be introducing new chemicals into a delicate ecosystem and also potentially physically damaging it.
I’m a homebrewer, so I have a boiler large enough to sous vide a turkey (or a lamb), but I do wonder where one would find a large enough bag, I think you’d have to weld several bags together

Would depend on the specific hot spring. Most would cook and dissolve it. Additionally it would be very Sulphur smelling and tasting which would be range from icky to deadly depending on how much of the undissolved you ate.
The places I know were they do cook stuff using volcanic heat (in Peru and the Azores islands which are part of Portugal) they do it by digging a hole in an area were the ground is hot from volcanic heat and putting a pan cooking in it (they cover it all to keep the heat).
So it’s more a local technique for cooking for free that then evolved into a couple of traditional dishes.
Never heard of trying to roast stuff on the output of a geyser.
It’s a thing in New Zealand, where they actually cook in the geothermal springs, done traditionally by Maori in the area that has geothermal activity(they also dig a hole sometimes, not sure if that depends on the tribe or just what they’re cooking). Apparently there’s a restaurant that does it too: whakarewarewa.com/experiences-traditional-food/
I haven’t tried it so can’t speak to the flavor, but Id imagine it would be somewhat sulphour flavoured, which doesn’t seem appealing, maybe it’s an acquired taste?
I’ve always thought it tasted like chicken gone a bit off. I love chicken though so maybe the deviation from that is what I’m objecting to, hard to say.
Maybe it is gamey. I’ve not eaten wild fowl so I have nothing to compare it too.

Is this a thing? Like… enough that they need to have warnings about it, Lego themed or otherwise?
Does it matter? It’s fun. And park rangers are good people, keeping humanity from ruining nice things on the daily.

You wildly misunderstood my comment. I’m asking if this is actually a thing people have done which requires warnings from them. The Lego part is not the main thing. Like do they also have to post signs, etc warning people not to do this?
People, man. Park rangers are the nation’s cat herders. The amount of stupidity they intercept, well, I’m glad I don’t have to do it, and I’m more than happy to see my tax dollars fund their health care.
Insofar as that still happens going forward. We may not have national parks in 4 yrs.

Oh we’ll still have national parks. They’ll just have oil and/or fracking rigs on them.

Just like our high school campuses. The national parks will be catching up with the rest of the country. It’s about time we bring them into the glorious future!
Barrow Island, off the coast of Australia, is a class A nature reserve housing a couple dozen unique indigenous species, beaches where turtles lay their eggs each year, and 900 oil wells and a natural gas plant owned by Chevron.

Well I’m also one of the people who’d never thought of such a thing until they brought it up. Shame our local springs aren’t nearly hot enough for that kind of nonsense.

I had never thought about doing this until now, and now it’s all that I can think about.
I have three questions.
Does this actually work to coock it?
Is it at all edible?
Is there any environmental impact or downside?

You can eat anything you want once

Don’t forget the dissolved remains of humans who fell into those pools!
I’ve never heard of turkey described as gamey, and I’m genuinely confused as to why you think it is
.
Ah, that makes sense

That is what I meant, I’m largely ignoring the legos.
In a forced choice scenario I’d guess no, it just sounds too gross and too likely to disintegrate the bird off the line.
Here is an article about men sentenced for cooking chicken in hot springs at the Yellowstone National Park.
Here is another article about how cooking in natural hot springs while on a hike is totally awesome lol. Bonus naked guy at the end of the article.
EDIT: fixing links
Can’t sous-vide turkey in Yellowstone anymore. Because of woke.
My turkey carpaccio is ok then.
Why they putting ideas in people’s heads?
Not to mention your turkey will probably fucking dissolve
But cooking a ham is still okay?
TIL

All I read was “natural hangi pit”
We have those all around where I live.
Well, I wasn’t going to do it, but then you said I couldn’t.
So who figured this out
