Turkey w/ or w/o Plate Setter
I have a medium BGE and am cooking a 13lb turkey. Apparently I'm not the only unprepared person that just realized my bird will not fit on my v-rack w/ plate setter. Actually the lid won't close period with the v-rack on the grid over a plate setter. I've noticed quite a few suggestions, what is my best option?:[p]A) Plate Setter w/drip pan on plate setter supported by aluminum foil balls or other items (in order to prevent drippings from scorching and giving the bird a funky taste), turkey on cooking grid [p]B) No Plate Setter, turkey on v-rack w/ drip pan on cooking grid[p]A is what I originally had in mind until I saw the warnings about the drippings scorching and smoking. I had never thought of that.[p]Thanks in advance.[p]

Rick's Tropical Delight,[p]Looks great. Roasting pan on inverted plate setter, no rack. Did you have something in between the pan and the plate setter?

Dirk Diggler,
three butter knives, and the turkey is sitting on a bed of carrots and celery to hold it off the bottom.
