Another name for a food barrel, an animal-proof container used by people who go camping deep into the woods for days at a time. During hot weather it can render some perishable food items malodorous with a nasty shade of blueish-green.
Upon reaching the campsite on Day 5, Eric didn't mind digging deep into the algonquin slow cooker to get an opened pack of hot dogs buried at the bottom.
