Turkey Capacity for Large Egg

My chart sez, 20 # on an Lg. Others will have some tips soon. Smiles to you.

I would think you will have a very difficult time finding room for TWO turkeys. I am also sure you could have cooked a single bird of 24+ lbs without issue.

Two turkeys that size sounds like a lot. I recently cooked a 22 lb turkey on my XL in a pan with rack. There wasn't much room left. If I had used a drip pan under the grill it would have help.

I cooked a 20# at Thanksgiving and agree I could have had a larger bird on their easily. I'm not sure you could do a pair, but possibly if you spatchcocked them, then stood them up against each other (along the cut) and created a 'Turkey Tent' it night work. I'd expect the cook time to go up though.

I have done a 24 pound bird on the large. Two 14 pounders are not gonna make it.
