what size/lbs turkey does this model hold

Not that big I am afraid - a 10 1/2 lb well stuffed bird just squeezed in - and cooked to perfection!

I agree with the others, 15 pounds is the largest Turkey we've done in ours.

Hi Melody,I own two of these machines and gave one to two sisters and one to a son.I totally love it!!!For Thanksgiving I put a 6 1/2 lb. whole chicken on it and it turned out beautifully.I also do turkey breast with the bone in.I like doing them better then the whole turkey because you don't have to skewer it so much.Anyway back to your question about how big of a turkey this model takes.I agree with R. Fletcher when they said 12-15 lbs.Maybe a little smaller would be better.Hope this helps you out.Sandy G.

The largest I've ever done is 15lbs. I must tell you, we have cooked turkey in the oven since getting the "set it and forget it" and we always go back to the set it and forget it. It REALLY is the best.

I cooked a 26 pound turkey and it was tight. I don't think it will hold a 45lb. turkey and personally I would cook 2 smaller turkeys because they taste much better.

Yes, it can handle a 14-pound turkey. The lid is domed and the inside is spacious. You will need to monitor the temperature of the grill, but certainly feasible. Yummy!

It's about the size of a 12 LB turkey. Ours leaked around the seams so in order to keep it inflated, we had to reseal some of the seams with a curling iron (low setting and dish towel used to protect plastic.)

I do not know if they had a limit but will hold a lot. It depends on how much clearance you have. It will hold a turkey. The spit is a solid bar and very strong. It rest on notches in the ring. May hold a small pig. I'm sure there are limitations.

It was a gift so I don't have it to measure but it's quite large--I think it's supposed to hold a 12 to16 lb. turkey. We use it for ears of corn also and it holds more then a dozen years.

we haven't done a turkey yet but the book says 12 to 15 lbs. That seems big and there wouldn't be much room.

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.

you need to decide what is best for you. we have the one that fits up to 15lb turkey. I purchased one for my daughter and her family, a larger one. you will love it!!

Yes, it will easily hold your 18 pound turkey. Nice rack, heavy in construction and large size.

I'll let you know after Thanksgiving. I'm planning on a 20 lb turkey, so I'm hoping it will hold at least that!

Mine is either the 111 or 109 & I'm sure it would hold a 4lb. turkey breast.

18lbs is the limit with this fryer but you are better off frying too small turkeys if you need that much turkey.

It can handle up to 16 lbs turkey. I don't think you will be able to use a 23 lb one.

I did a 23 lb. turkey. I would think it might take a 25 lb turkey but it may overlap the sides. You could wrap any overlapping extremities in foil or place the pan on foil so any drippings would not go on oven floor. Take a tape measure to store when you purchase your bird. Exact measure of pan is 12"x 16" x 3". Tie him nice and tight or roast him upside down (which keeps the breast nice and moist).

I have a 20lb turkey on it right now with no issues, no signs of bending at all. Not sure how much more you'd want but volume wise it can fit 2 20lb birds and still have room to spare.

Probably. It is a bit of a tight fit for 14.5 Lb turkey so i have never actually used a16 lb one - but tuck in the wings and legs and give it a go. The extras seem to stick out the sides and maybe touch the edge. I would be interested if you can let us know. ??
