How many pounds of food can it hold? Can it do a whole slab of ribs or a whole chicken or a decent sized beef or pork roast??

It will fit a whole chicken,you can't put a whole slab of spare ribs in it.you can put two to three leggs and thigh pieces in it i've put a butt beef roast in it i can put ten brauts in it a pkg of hotdogs it needs to be alittle bit bigger!

I haven't used the thing but my wife was quite impressed with it, she did cook a slab of ribs and they were delicious. It looks like you could comfortably cook a decent sized (family of 4or5) beef or pork roast.

Yes, you can do a whole chicken. You can do a whole slab of ribs (cut in half). As for pork roast just yesterday I did the smoking of a piece of fresh rear leg (2.9 kilos), completing the slow cooking process in a gas owen.

I agree with another comment about ribs - you would need to cut the slab. As for other meats, I have cooked a whole chicken (typical small fryer) and about a 3 to 4 lb brisket

The largest thing I have put in it is a 5 or so lb. chicken. It probably could do it although it may look crammed in there at first they alsways do shrink. Also I would cook on med instead of low.

Two lbs would put it around 40% full. You could easily fit 3 but I'm not too sure they'd cook evenly....worth a shot.

I do not know the maximum weight it will hold but I roasted a 20 pound turkey without problems.

Ya, there are two racks--Top one and the one right over the water bowl. With a few rib racks to stand them up you could fit oodles of ribs in this thing--I'm guessing 15 to 20. According to the virtual Weber bulletin board 12-racks are definitely doable without buying rib racks and simply using some ingenuity (cooking the ribs on their side rolled up and skewered).

I've never used it for a roast however, it probably would hold a 5 or 6 pound roast. You might have to cut the roast in half. It's deep and hold quite a lot.

A small or medium one...probably. I never cook a whole chicken. I just recently used this to cook 4 lbs. of pork carnitas and had plenty of room, but of course there's no bones to deal with.

Well 12L does not help anyone but..I can fix 4 nice Rib Eye Steaks or 4 big chicken breast with no trouble at all. If you want to cook something larger you can always adjust the Height by taking out the top portion and just using the bottom rack. You can put anything in there frozen too! we have put our veggies in there and they come out great!! Hope this Helps you out!!

If it was a Costco chicken (on steroids) no it would not be big enough. If you are doing 2 standard size chicken breasts it would be just fine. This pan is 1/2 the size of a "normal" full size oven roasting pan. It is great for one or two steaks or one or two other types of meat or chicken for two people. It is not the pan you would use for a family of 3 or 4 or more.

6 quart is fairly small but should be adequate for 2 people. It should be adequate for 3-4 artichokes. I haven't tried to cook normal roast but I believe it will hold a normal roast. The pot will hold 1 whole chicken. I hope that will help in gauging a normal roast. Overall, the pot is very well made with heavy stainless steel. I am now looking to purchase an 8 or 10 quart pot :).

There is a rack, we have done turkeys and chickens, you could probably do ribs. Let me know how they turn out. Good Luck.

This is what my husband says...I don't make sausage batches that large, so I don't know for sure. I think it would be difficult to get a quality mix when completely full because you don't want to overwork the meat. It can hold 25 lbs, but wont function as intended.

You would be pushing it just a bit. I believe you may have to get an extra rack. It comes with 3. Four full size ribs won't fit on one rack. But maybe two briskets can fit on one rack? Ultimately it will work. Just may need the extra rack!

The inside measures 10 inches round and 12 inches deep. You can cook a pretty good size turkey, roast or fresh ham with no problem. As for the ribs, you hang them around the side and I have cooked 2 slabs with no problem. Also I have the chicken leg rack that holds a number of legs and can be doubled with a second rack above.

It holds about 2 qts. But there are different sizes available. Mine holds an entire cut up chicken along with sides. Hope this is useful.

I can get 2- 7 pound chickens or up to a 18 lb turkey in the roaster when the birds are sitting on the rack. Its the best roaster we have ever owned,great for cooking everything.Makes great pot roast with potatoes and carrots also.

A lot! Or depends on how hungry they are (: One point to remember is chilli has a high tomato content so you might want to toughen the seasoning up a bit first. I plan on waiting for a while to do that with mine. To give you an idea of capacity it will roast a couple of small whole chickens. I used it to roast 4 lbs of pork ribs and had plenty of room to spare.
