BGE does not make that item.  Tell us why you need it and maybe there are other options for your needs.  Are you trying to fit a large bird in the Egg?

Yes last year with the ring, and place setter it barely shut

To maximize your height inside you will need to place platesetter feet up and place your turkey in a drip pan on your platesetter.  I would place tin foil rolled into 3/4" balls under drip pan to get air under it to salvage your dripping if you want to make gravy.  Place the bird horizontal (breast up) on a v-rack or place celery stalks in the drip pan and place the bird on them.  You can always pull out the thermometer and watch the temps with a Thermapen if you have one.

 

How big a bird are you trying to do?  

leprechaun

16lb. Do you put anything in the drip pan to baste?

I use and like this recipe, it makes great gravy as well as very tasty Bird.
