I want to know if anyone has cooked a turkey on this, and if so, how big a bird can you do on it?

If you use the stone, remove the grill, (the stone sits 4-5 inches below the grill) and use a bird stand, any size turkey will fit

Probably a big one, but I've heard that turkey on the grill is not the best way to cook it.... dries out.

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....

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!

I have had a 23 pound turkey in here. You need to loosely put foil over the turkey or it will turn black.I smiked the turkey for 5 hours then i finished in the oven at 350 to speed up the cook. Make sure to brine the turkey for 24 hours before cooking

No, it's not big enough for a Turkey. It holds poultry up to 8 pounds (as mentioned in the item description.)

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

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.

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.

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).

I doubt it. I have used it for as much as a 7 pound chicken with no problems, but I don't think that it would be big enough for a turkey.

I have not tried it but right now I am smoking a 7lb chicken and there is plenty more room and heat to cook more. The instruction manual states you can smoke a 10-15lb turkey and I would believe it.

I cooked a 23 lb turkey, roaster lid did not seal completely because of the height of the bird and top of bird stuck a bit to the roaster lid (use non stick foil to solve this problem) but it cooked great.

They are bigger than they appear and they only come with the lower and upper racks. Depending what you want to cook in it, you might need to buy the extras..They are in the user manual and not expensive. You can imagine if you can cook a medium turkey, they are not small! Hope this helps!

my dad has roasted a good size pork loin that came out grate. it can handle two chickens at once, but the turkey was too big.

I am sorry I have never used this for a turkey though it is very large. I would assume a large Turkey would fit.

My review was "Weber 22 1/2" gold grill. I had too break almost every bone on the bird so it wouldn't hit the dome lid. I'm sure the chicken didn't mind but I did. I'll see in a hour or so if I can get the roaster out of the bird without pliers." That was a 4lb bird. The roaster is pretty tall. With that said, I would go with 1 of webers models

Definitely would be good information to have. The 32 Quart cooker claims that it can cook up to 25 lb turkeys, but I wonder how much smaller this one is.

Funny you should ask, I just cooked an 4.6LBS turkey breast yesterday. The 6-Qt was a good size for this. It came out great but I did spend a short time braising the breast to add a little color and crispness to the skin.
