Turkey size

Unknown

What is the maximum size turkey that will fit in a standard sized green egg? In pounds please. Your help appreciated along with any other tips for a first time bird-in-the-egg venture.

mike bechtol,
last year i did a 20 pounder in a roasting in my large bge, at 325 for almost 7 hours. . .it was too big to set up on the grid over inverted plate setter, so i had to have grid in normal place on the fire ring, with a water pan suspended underneith the grid. ..i have an old oval turkey roasting pan that just fit into the egg. . .[p]btw, the turkey was the best i'd ever made in over 20 years. . ..

mike bechtol,
We've done 18 lbs. I'm sure that I've read that someone here has done 22 lbs. In a V-rack with the tail cut off, should fit.
