Well crap. Please someone tell me it's gonna work!!!
I tried too big a bird in my egg and couldn't get it to close with the plate setter and v-rack. I 86'd the v-rack and its on top of the grid at felt level.
Whole bird, injected and going indirect at 300-325.
Is this gonna screw up my bird?!?!?

From everything I have seen, that is one of the go to methods for a big bird. I had to put my v-rack in a drip pan which was directly on top of the plate setter yesterday. It was a 17 lb. bird and I have a LBGE. Even with that, I had to raise the temp guage so it wouldn't stick into the bird. 325 for 4 hours and turned out great. I might raise the temp a little next time since the skin didn't crisp up as much as I hoped.LBGE, Marietta, GA

It turned out well. Thanks for the encouragement!!

I think the BGE website tell you to do a whole bird in the V rack, sitting in the drip pan directly on the platesetter also, skipping the main grate. As Tulocay mentioned above.Glad it worked out for ya. Now you gotta give the spatchcocked turkey a try!Frank
