What is the consensus on the comfortable turkey weight that this beast can fry? The answers how 13, 16, and 20. Any more input?

I usually stay between 10 and 12. Due to the fact that I inject the crap out of my birds, making it a really tight fight. Thats just from my observation.

I don't use the stand so I can tell better when the turkey floats and is done. I can do a 20 lb bird

I used this on a 30lb turkey and it was perfect. Loved it.....Very stable, light weight, manageable

There is a panel in the back that hold the cord and the screw in drain for the oil.There are 2 sizes of fryers one for 14 lbs and the other for 20 lbs. I have the 14 lbs one which feeds about 16 people.At the most I have only cooked 13 lbs of turkey for 45 minutes.

I agree with the others, 15 pounds is the largest Turkey we've done in ours.

Not sure on official weight capacity but i smoked a 15 lb turkey for thanksgiving and there was no issue

I was wondering the same thing. I searched the reviews and several of them mentioned having no trouble cooking turkeys over 20 lbs. I think the biggest bird mentioned was 25 lbs.

The Grill only weighs about 30 ish pounds, not bad at all. If you are using a small tank it can screw directly into the grill. This is a good unit. I personally have used both the small tank and larger 20 ppond tank. The small er one is handy for tailgating somewhere, then I use the larger for camping when the grill is set up and in place for a few days. Hope this helps you out, Tim

I don't know the official limit, but I have put a pretty large turkey, like 16 pounds, on it and it held up fine.

I'm pretty sure I did a 22lb turkey last year, and there was plenty of room. The turkey turned out fantastic!

In my opinion no larger than a 10lb. turkey. It is a great pan. I love it.I use it for roasting everything from meat sauce to chicken.

I'm sorry I haven't attempted to roast a 20lbs Turkey. I have been able to roast two 8lbs pork shoulders at the same time. They for side by side and have plenty of space above. The roaster is deep and the lid is raised so there might be plenty of space for your turkey.

I have cooked pork, beef and venison roasts. I do inject them and cook on a slower temp instead of all the way with turkey. Best to not cook over a 13lb turkey just like you would do for frying in oil. Turkey comes out juicy and perfect. Takes about 2.5 hrs for a turkey. Always use a thermometer.

The largest I've ever done is 15lbs. I must tell you, we have cooked turkey in the oven since getting the "set it and forget it" and we always go back to the set it and forget it. It REALLY is the best.

A 45 pound turkey? Are you kidding me? Where does one find a 45 pound turkey? It could hold a 25 pound turkey. I use it for a 14 pound turkey, because I like to rotate the bird during roasting. It was an expensive roasting pan. But, I haven't EVER regretted buying it. If you take good care of it -- it will last you a lifetime.
