Christmas Feast Dilemma

ThrRoff

I plan, or maybe had planned, to roast a small turkey on my small BGE while my large is occupied with other goodies. The turkey will not fit on a vertical roast rack in the small, but it will fit on its side. I have a disposable aluminum pan that will just fit, but I don’t have a rack small enough. At this point I don’t have the time to search for and buy a small rack, so I need some options. Here is what I am considering:[p]Roast the turkey right on the cooking grate realizing the down side will be black, but no one usually eats it anyway and I can hide it.[p]Place some celery stalks or other hard vegetables under the turkey in the pan and roast away.[p]Or other ideas creative and knowledgeable folks on this board may have.[p]

Thrroff,
I have cooked roasts this way in the oven and it works fine. I don't know about on the egg, but when I did it in the oven (pre egg days) I pureed the veggies after the cook and tossed the puree in the gravy. That was purdy tasty gravy. Maybe use two disposible pans to havea bit of an air gap?[p]Ed

Thrroff,
How about putting some short wooden spoon type utensils in a crisscross fashion and lay the turkey on that inside your pan? Should work.
Or maybe just use whatever silverware you got to build a rack of some sorts?
