Is the distance between the cooking grate and the lid high enough to hold a 20-25 lb. turkey with plenty of clearance?

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

I do a 20-25 lb. turkey on the weber every year at thanksgiving, no problem.

I don't think that I would ever try to cook a 25 lb turkey on a charcoal hrill

There is about 3/8" clearance, not quite half an inch. I've cooked 10 chicken legs in it at a time, and they've turned out moist, with plenty of room for drippings.

I'm pretty sure I did a 22lb turkey last year, and there was plenty of room. The turkey turned out fantastic!

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.

It easily holds 25 lbs dog food out of the bag. You may have to smash the bag in to get it to fit as the container is shorter and wider than a bag of food.

I used it for with a 23 quart Presto canner with 7 quart jars using the pressure canning method and felt it was sturdy. It does overhang. The Presto canner has a raised bottom that is just about the same size as the burner.

You should. It is just a rack to hold the turkey. The idea is to hold the turkey cavity open letting more heat get in thus faster cooking.

Yes. It will hold most cooking utensils as long as they are tall enough to rest against the metal stand. I am very satisfied with this item.

There was nothing included with the unit stating how large of a bird it will hold and we actually haven't used ours yet. It is about 9.5" tall with a 7" wide base and seems sturdy, so I don't see why it wouldn't hold a larger turkey.

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

I was able to use it for a 23 lb. turkey with lots of stuffing in the turkey and outside the turkey around the bottom. You probably could fit a 24 lb. turkey without stuffing. The turkey was delicious!

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 think you will be more restricted by the clearance between your product and the grill surface. A whole chicken, trussed and centered properly, clears the grates fine. You're not going to be able to rotisserie a large Baron of Beef though.

Hi Bonnie: Sorry, I'm not 100% sure. I know the 12 quart will hold a 7 lb turkey breast with no problem. I did make a 3 lb. rib eye roast and had lots of room left on each side. Hope this helps.

The pan is 16x13 and I do believe it will fit a 20lb -24lb turkey, though I have not cooked one that large.

No, it's not large enough. It would hold the turkey, but not the brine, if you're doing a liquid. I'm using a 4 gallon bucket for 13 lbs.

Seems sturdy, but 22 lb turkey is a good size so I am not sure of the pressure on the sides would cause it to collapse.This could easily support a 22 lb dumb bell weight as it is small enough to fit within the frame of the rack. This is well made, I am just not sure if the side pressure would cause the supports to slip out of the slots.
