What is the biggest turkey this will cook?

I have used this pan to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving for the last 3 years. Each year, I've cooked a large bird in it but this year was the biggest at 21lbs. It fit just fine; there was a about a finger thick space between the handle and the bird once it was in the pan and while cooking, the drippings all remained in the pan.

Big! Roasters generally come in either a 12"x14" or 14"x16" configuration. This is one of the 14"x16" pans, so any bird that doesn't hang over the edges too much will work. The size of your oven will more likely be the limiting factor.

You have to take the top pivoting rack out, but yes it will fit a large turkey. I smoked one for Christmas this year, about 20 pounds and it fit fine.

The inside are 13 1/2"X 11" X 3". Sorry, I have no idea about how big of turkey it will hold. I only use it to bake chicken breasts and beef so far. It looks kind of small and won't hold a large turkey.

this pot is large enough to roast a 15-16 lb. turkey; so, yes it should be large enough for even the largest chicken you can buy. I've roasted 3 smaller chickens at one time in this pot. for only one chicken, i use a smaller version. the 117 i use mainly for turkeys, and it makes great turkeys.

I have fried 3 turkeys over the recent holidays. The largest was 14 lbs. I used butchers twine to tie up the wings and legs after I had the bird upright on the spit. I tied the twine around the bird as I secured the wings and legs. This method may of inadvertently kept my bird bound up tight preventing the situation you described. I have had great success with the TF200.

Hello, The largest turkey I would recommend for this kit would be rouhly 17-19lbs. The motor is capable of much more, but due to the size of the spit rods diameter, you will get deflection that will cause the animal to "flop around" if you go beyond this size. From a balancing standpoint turkeys are fantastic because the weight of the body is fairly consitent on all sides, so it should spin nicely and not have too many peaks and valleys of power necessity. Thank You, Brian

I'm assuming you mean a 7.5lb turkey breast. I would say yes, but it will need to cook on high for 12 hours.

This roaster is probably too big for what you usually cook. If available, I would go down in size. This one is good for a medium sized turkey or for a large roast (or really large chicken).

We did a really big one, at least 21 lbs. But to honest, this thing is horrible. It cooks unevenly and takes forever. Save your money.

I don't use mine for that, but it would have to be a smaller turkey...this item is more tall than wide...I bought it for the height for my lasagna, because I make very thick lasagnas....LOL

The description says 25 lb turkey or roast. I personally don't know because I have a small family and don't get large turkeys.

What size are you getting I have the 2 and you can easily fit a big turkey in it, It has 4 grates and you can remove them about 2 feet wide and 3 feet high. Sorry for the long wided answer but the answer is yes. Check the Smokin- It website they will show you what can fit and the price.

I've cooked whole chickens, beef and pork roasts in the pressure cooker all weighing over 3 lbs. Just make sure it doesn't fill the pan more than 2/3 full to allow it to steam. I recently cooked a turkey breast weighing over 5 lbs., however I did have to remove the backbone before I could fit it in the pressure cooker. Since I slow cooked the turkey breast instead of pressure cooking it, I didn't have to worry about how full it was. I came out juicy and tender. Soo good!

Hi Sandy, Ammm I'm not good in size sorry. But for sure this one is too big it's for turkey and lam leg roast. You should go for smaller size. That's what I'm planing to do. Cause this one is big for medium size chicken....

We smoked a 14 pound turkey and there was room for a little bit larger, up to 16 pounds it seems. It was the best tasting turkey we've ever cooked. We smoked it for 9 hours at 225 using apple wood chips. Came out super moist, beautiful color and very tasty.

I haven't done a full turkey, but it would cook a very large turkey....It has a 20" round grate (from side to side), and a clearance above of about 12 -14 inches....

Cassandra I don't know because I bought it for this Thanksgiving turkey. It's pretty big.
