Is the upper chamber large enough to smoke a turkey? Doesn't seem like there'd be room for the bird and the water pan.

I smoked a medium sized turkey by splitting it along the backbone and laying it flat. Worked great.

If you spatchcock (split) the turkey (search it online) you can easily smoke the Turkey. I did a 22 lb Turkey and it works great. I put the water pan below and put the rack on the tray directly and not on the shelf. By splitting it along the backbone and laying it flat like that you should have plenty of space for a Turkey of almost any size. While I smoked it I cooked the rest of the stuffing and such below in the pizza chamber. https://www.youtube.com/user/EcoQue

No, not a turkey, unless it was cut into pieces. The chamber is deep (long from front to back) though.

It isn't large enough to put a water/drip pan underneath I'd guess but a couple of soup cans would fit in the corners. The unit comes with several racks,roasting pans and a large drip pan. I've only done chicken, ribs and some canadian bacon so far and everything has been very good.It's still on the learning curve so I expect it to get better.

I have smoked a lg. ham shoulder. It should hold a 10 to 12# bird. Good luck I love how it works. It does take some time to learn.

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..

The upper grate would have to be removed, otherwise there is plenty of room for a beer can chicken. Removing the grate is easy.

Yes, you can smoke a turkey on the grill. My husband did it last Thanksgiving. I don't remember how big, my guess is at least 20 lbs.

I have smoked in it. It is large and has the front door to stoke the coals and add smoke chips without opening the top. I have a dedicated smoker as well but this one has a larger area for food.

If you are able to put the cover on then I would. I usually have a turkey too big for the cover so I have to put it in a bag. I don't add water when I cook a turkey but use beef broth if I am cooking a roast.

For the Demeyere? I no longer have this item so can only give you approximates. I still have the internal wire rack, which I use with my Nordic smoker. It's about 11 inches across. I would say not more than three inches clearance in the lid area - from the wire rack to the inner surface of the lid. I could easily smoke two Cornish game hens in this - and did once - but not a full size chicken as it would have been too tall to fit under the lid. Good luck with it if you purchase it.

That would depend on the size of the ribs or the brisket. It is 16 inches inside diameter, so I've actually smoked a good size turkey, and lots of salmon and steel head. It does have two layers so you always cut the meat in half.

Plenty of room! I use a rack for the ribs so that they stand up during the smoking process. Smoke them at 200 degrees or less. Great recipes on Google...

HI, first of all it would of course depend on the size of the bird . The inside of the oven measures (6.3" H,and 12.2" D and 12" W ) Maybe you could use a small bird, like an 8 pound turkey. You really MUST PLAN AHEAD when you are unsure about ovens, I wish you good luck with your culenery arts.12"

It might but that's a little large an you might have a problem take care not to spill over. I would say that fill tank in sink with water to see how much goes over edge drop your turkey in water an that should tell you how much oil you can use two or three cups less of oil good Luck be safe have a good turkey day[[ps 10 lb bird is good]]

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.

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.

Not sure but to give you an idea I recently loaded 16 slabs of beef short ribs total of 40 +/-pounds on four and didn't have to cut them to make room the following week I did a nother 12 slabs.. I also did a 17 lb turkey on one rack with no problems. I will recommend if you do get this smoker, with the wood chip pan hammer down the open slots this will improve your smoke and only use wood chunks not chips I prefer un soak. Good luck and hoped this helped you will love it trust me

Simply remove the top grate & place the bird in/on a drip pan with the coals around it (opposed to under)

Yes, but watch the temperature. You will probably have to keep turning the burners on and off. Also turn the bird over frequently to reduce the formation of hot spots. I would use a smoker instead but if this is all you have, it'll work if you're careful.
