    Cook chickens on them.

    In addition to Lulu's suggestions, you can use them for a number of crafts. Also, you can use clean metal cans to bake individual goodies for holiday giving, like brown bread, banana bread and such.

    There are a number of craft ideas on Hometalk too. I used the phrase 'tin cans' because using 'cans' included huge trash/garbage cans. If you meant bigger cans, just put the word ' cans ' at the top left, next to the blue Hometalkers logo where it says "Find your next project!". Otherwise, use this link for smaller cans:
