Is the inside large enough to fit a 20lb turkey with or without a shelf removed?

Probably not lying flat - certainly not in a tray. It could probably fit if you stood it up vertically with shelves removed.

I measured a 19-pound turkey at approx. 13 x 10 x 7.5 inches. a 16.5-pound turkey came in at 13 x 9 x 8. My pans are approx. 15.7 x 11.7 inches (inside) so this will fit larger turkeys.

Has anyone put this together WITHOUT the interior shelf? If so, how sturdy was it?

I'm pretty sure I did a 22lb turkey last year, and there was plenty of room. The turkey turned out fantastic!

The inside is 12" and the middle shelf is cut in half so the cat can go up and down while inside. My cat is 11 pounds and it seems he barely makes it. I don't think is big enough for a 16 pound cat. They may not use the house part too much anyway. I love the rest of it. Very sturdy. The top shelf/bed is also on the smaller side. .i think 13 inches.

That cat is big. I have a 20lb cat that has no issues. I would leave out the inner wall so you can put a large littler box in there.

It can handle up to 16 lbs turkey. I don't think you will be able to use a 23 lb one.

I had a 20lb bird and there was room to spare. If it doesn't fit, you can always use unscented garbage bags (double bag so the wings don't pierce the bag) or a heavy duty black contractor trash bag..I've done that before!

Yes. With plenty to spare. But I wouldn't store milk in there for too long. Its not refrigerated, unless that is a new feature. Could work as a cheese press. You could most likely fit a decent size turkey inside. At least a few Cornish hens. But not a case of 16oz waters or a lawn mower.

you need to decide what is best for you. we have the one that fits up to 15lb turkey. I purchased one for my daughter and her family, a larger one. you will love it!!

The inside of the carrier is 20" high from the base to the highest part. The 20lbs will be no problem. My frenchie is a HEFTY 27lbs and it was fine for him. I would measure him sitting up and see if 20" would be tall enough

I would think so. It is heavy duty and large (although that is relative to the size of your turkey and the size of the bag!). I would make sure to put a pan underneath it and keep the zip-lock end at the top.

Angela, It depends on your definition of large. Check out the "interior sizes" response under answered questions and measure your bird. I would think that any turkey over 18-20 lbs would be a very tight squeeze.

A standard 20 lb tank stands upright inside the unit. It actually lasts quite long. I don't believe it will fit anything larger.

I haven't used it yet but the size is substantial and would probably fit a 20 lb bird. I will be using it this Thanksgiving for the first time.

Without measuring, I believe that the opening is large enough for the cat and leaving out the inside piece won't affect the integrity of the box. It would be better to leave it out with a cat that large.
