lesterdaddy,[p]I can't even close my lid with a platesetter and v-rack, I can't imagine one standing up. Hope someone answers for you, then we'll both learn something. Good luck.

Dirk Diggler,
I have cooked many turkeys, in the 10 to 15 pound range, with the placesetter (legs up), the grid & the turkey on a Spanek tower.[p]I have cooked only Heritage, range raised turkeys for the past 7 years.[p]I shot a wild turkey here in Missouri & tried to cook it in the large BGE. The legs were so long, it wouldn't fit, so I took it to a local smoke house.[p]

Nessmuk,[p]Great on a Medium or Large. I don't have a vertical roaster, so I've never tried. It just seemed like it wouldn't work on the Medium. Maybe I'll get one of those. My real problem is with the v-rack. The lid will close with it inverted on the grid with a plate setter, I've cooked ribs this way. But the lid will not close on a grid w/ plate setter, v's down. Am I just an idiot or am I missing something?

Dirk Diggler,
Ignore the first sentence, should be - Great. On a medium or a large?
-
lesterdaddy,
It won't hurt anything to remove the fire ring and put the plate setter directly on the fire box. I'd suggest you put spacers between the vertical roaster and the plate setter though.....

egret,
I used aluminum foil shims to elevate the plate setter ( +/- 1" ) and so far( 1 hr. in) so good. The 19# turkey , on a vertical roaster, fits with 1" to spare.
