height wise you should be fine but it's not all that deep. I don't think you'd get a 'family' size bird on there.

Yes but the compartments are 1-1/2 feet if best ac cross but shelves come out and move
1165741
Yes. Just split in half and place each half on a separate shelf, skin side up.
1165742
Yes but you will have to check the temp and keep supplying wood chips. Be careful and check your final temp, oh did I say check the temp. I have had really good luck with everything except a whole turkey, I just have not smoked one!

No, its not that big inside, also the electric burner went out on me within a couple weeks, I would recommend you buy a propane smoker which is what I bought and I love it.

Yes, provided your smoker is big enough. It fits in my 18.5" Weber so take it from there. Happy smoking!

Hi Adam. It all depends on what you'll be smoking. Both the 12" & 18" A-Maze-N Smokers will do a great job, with the 18" model providing longer smoking capacity for meats requiring longer smoking times.

You could if that's the only thing you have, but I would rather invest in a regular Weber grill for grilling (you get a smaller size weber grill). The smoker uses a different technique (slower cooking) than a grill.

Yeah probably but I don't see why you would. The tip makes the joint way sturdier and it smokes better.

This grill/smoker was not designed to deep fry a turkey. If you have a large/deep pot, you could try....But, not sure if you can keep it hot enough for cooking turkey completely. I've never tried to deep fry a turkey. The pots provided for deep frying with this grill/smoker are too small. They would probably work for fried fish or potatoes but not a turkey. Good Luck...

I have owned two of the smaller diameter smokers. Trust me when I tell you that the 18.5" is sufficient for almost anything you will ever cook. Remember there are two racks in it. You can buy other racks to position chickens vertically, other racks to position four or five slabs of ribs just on one level. I use the lower level almost exclusively. I water soak wood chips and never use charcoal lite. You can cook pot roasts with potatoes, carrots, and onions in the water pan too.

Yes, but you would need a pan to catch the drippings. It holds a 18# turkey with out a problem. Although it has a non stick surface, I have found that a slight mist of Pam makes the first clean up a bit easier. I have used mine to hold 6 full slabs of ribs, a couple of giant boston butts, large pork picnic and like I said an 18# turkey. All on my grill but I make an aluminum pan out of heavy duty foil but I smoke all of my meat on my Napoleon gas grill. I cooked my turkey in under 3 hours. Much easier than inside at thanksgiving when oven space is a premium. The nicest part is no matter how you use it. The two large handles make it easy to move around.

I have placed a 12lb turkey and a 10lb ham on one rack and it worked just fine. I don't see you over loading the racks while leaving air space around the meat for smoke. I hope you enjoy yours as much as me and my family has enjoyed ours.

Depends on the size of the turkey. ~16lbs or less will fit with no problem.

I would go with the 18 1/2 just for extra room. A small turkey like you would deep fry would probably be ok but anything larger and you might not get great airflow around the bird. Beer can chicken fits nicely- baby back ribs have to be cut in half and each one placed on a separate rack to fit. Nice little smoker to learn on and cook for small groups.

You could but it would take a bit longer to cook seeing as the charcoal is at the bottom. You can remove the top. It is really made for smoking I would not suggest it. The exterior may not handle all of the smoke..

Its fairly large so i would think so, but i have never put a turkey in it. Nice roaster...lid also makes a pan

It's doable. However, there are things called "smoker thermometers" that are a much better, safer bet to ensure better smoked foods. I'd go with one of those if I had the choice.

You should be able to. Just one caution... very little wood chips are needed otherwise the smoke flavor is overwhelming.

You will be able to cook a turkey............size is a factor. I cooked a 12 lb turkey and it worked great. You need to ensure that all parts are tied down, and I do mean tied down. Nothing can touch the heating element !

Probably so as long as the dimensions are OK. The tube smoker only puts out smoke and not heat. Put whatever chips/pellets in the tube.
