I don't know as I ahve not cooked a turkey in it. It looks like a 20-23 lb turkey would work. I suggewst that you contact the Hamilton Beach customer service to get a accurate figure.

We cooked a 23 lbs bird last year. Go by the cookers direction on time. The cooker says to go by the birds cooking time but our bird was done as per the cookers instruction about 3 to 3.5 hours. Be careful too the outside gets very hot to the touch. The bigger bird requires aluminum foil between the bird and the sides to keep from burning to wings

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.

It was a gift so I don't have it to measure but it's quite large--I think it's supposed to hold a 12 to16 lb. turkey. We use it for ears of corn also and it holds more then a dozen years.

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.

I'm not sure. I guess it depends on how large. It would hold an average sized chicken.

"Large" is relative. Measure the turkey's width at the largest point. Cambro boxes come in square and rectangular shapes. An 8-quart box is good enough for a game hen or a small chicken. I would consider upwards from 18-quart for a turkey, depending on the turkey, of course.

I would say no. It could possibly hold a 6 to 8 pound turkey breast, but not a full turkey. Just not enough space.

This stand is too small to hold a turkey. There are similar, larger stands for a turkey.

You have to take the top pivoting rack out, but yes it will fit a large turkey. I smoked one for Christmas this year, about 20 pounds and it fit fine.

I am unable to say. I use it for my meat. it's about twice the size of your average refrigerator freezer. I don't think it would hold a large turkey unless you took the shelves out and had nothing else in there. but for average amts of meat for a family it should be fine.

Depends on the size of the turkey. ~16lbs or less will fit with no problem.

Mine is either the 111 or 109 & I'm sure it would hold a 4lb. turkey breast.

Yes, it can handle a 14-pound turkey. The lid is domed and the inside is spacious. You will need to monitor the temperature of the grill, but certainly feasible. Yummy!

yes it can fit a large turkey, but not very happy with unit . This unit is very under powered takes a really long time to cook. I also own and do recommend a masterbuilt smoker 40 inch digital model beats the Bradley smoker hands down

Get the 18 inch one. It would be very hard to fit a turkey in the small one. It is smaller than you would think.

Hi, It can fit a 15 lb turkey but it would also depend on the shape of the bird, it would be best to limit it to 13 lb. Thank You!

I use it mainly for roasting vegetables, but I estimate that it would hold a 12# to 15# turkey if it was well trussed. The problem would be turkey juices and basting juices dripping outside the pan.
