Is this big enough to smoke a 20 pound turkey?

You have to take the top pivoting rack out, but yes it will fit a large turkey. I smoked one for Christmas this year, about 20 pounds and it fit fine.

It is big enough, however, we purchased one of these for each of our daughter's this past Christmas, one in Tennessee, one in Florida. Both did not seal properly and maintain the heat that they need. We actually ended up pulling the turkey off and finishing it in the oven. I have a Brinkmann and I have never had an issue with it. The problems that were encountered with both of the smokers were from a low quality product as they do not seal properly.

With no problem. I did it myself. You put the wood you want to use in the small end and place the turkey is the large end and the smoke from the fire cooks the turkey. I used a fresh Turkey and was surprised on how fast it cooked. I used Kiawa wood which made the smoked meat amazing.

I would be hesitant to try it. I think that large a turkey would be a major challenge if you wanted to smoke it. I think you could only have one burner on to keep the proper temperature, but that large a burn might be so big you would have part of the bird over a hot spot. I would recommend a smoker you can purchase for one third the price of the 3001.

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

The smoker is tall and not as large around as a Webber... I think. I know it will drag on the ground due to its height. Can't say for sure if the diameter is sufficient.

I have used it for a 17 pound rib roast and it worked very well. It should easily hold a 30 pound or even somewhat larger turkey.

yes it can fit a large turkey, but not very happy with unit . This unit is very under powered takes a really long time to cook. I also own and do recommend a masterbuilt smoker 40 inch digital model beats the Bradley smoker hands down

I can't be sure but I think this will hold that size of turkey. I have been so very pleased with my roaster. All the others have surfaces that get damaged with time of cooking in them. This has been a great addition to my kitchen. I do all kinds of roasts in mine.

Fully covered no bigger than about 20lbs. When using the shallow roaster, I've cooked a 26lb turkey on a rack.

Shawn, you should have no problem with this rack. According to the Big Green Egg website, your cooking surface is 18.25" in diameter which is more than sufficient for this rib rack. That same website notes you can cook a 20 lb turkey in your BGE. If a 20 lb bird will fit, then this modest sized rack should do just fine. Slainte!

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.

I'm sorry I haven't attempted to roast a 20lbs Turkey. I have been able to roast two 8lbs pork shoulders at the same time. They for side by side and have plenty of space above. The roaster is deep and the lid is raised so there might be plenty of space for your turkey.

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.

Not really. If you're roast meat is leaking enough for it to run over the board, I would suggest letting it rest longer so the meat can reabsorb it's own juices. At least 30 minutes for a 20 pound turkey.

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

Yes. But you will need a heat source, unless you are using it as a cold smoker.

I haven't used it yet but the size is substantial and would probably fit a 20 lb bird. I will be using it this Thanksgiving for the first time.
