What is XL BGE capacity?
Options
Jimbo
Posts: 44
I am strongly considering an Extra large BGE. I have wanted a BGE for years and they finally make one big enough to handle my friends and family holiday gatherings...I think. I prefer to cook two medium sized turkeys (12 to 15 lbs) rather than one 20+ lb monster. Two extra drumsticks go a long way towards holiday peace! Has anyone cooked two birds at once on an XL? If it can be done, I'm ordering mine tomorrow. This forum is great:>D I had a lot of fun searching the archives even though I couldn't find an answer to my question. Learned alot too.[p]

[p]These are 8 pound chickens. I believe I could easilt get two 12 pounders in my XL.

Thanks Celtic Wolf. Chickens look great. My wife thinks I've lost my mind because this forum has replaced You Tube and I don't even own a BGE yet!

<p />Jimbo,
Havent done turkey on my XL so cant speak from personal experience...the thing will hold a lot of meat, as you can see...The only concern I might have with turkey is that the dome is lower on the XL than it is on the large..so height would most likely be your biggest concern...here is better than 30# of butts...[p]Wess

WessB,[p] I had a 25.5 pound bird on the rack the chickens are on. Fit in there with plenty of room.
