setup for a big Thanksgiving turkey on a 22" OldSmokey
2-sided indirect with a big drip pan & roasting rack

here's a stand-up chicken in the 2-sided indirect cook

the extra wire racks from OldSmokey are only $10 each
so i have one with 2 wires broken out on both sides
and one with 3 wires broken out on one side for single sided indirect cooks

and now i have a set of GrillGrates on my grilling grate for the OldSmokey

Not a turkey fan (I think I ate way too much dried poultry as a kid) but that is a fine looking bird.

That chicken looks beautiful!

Heck yes!!! Now waiting to see the turkey!!

The tall lid on the Old Smokey sure gives ya a bunch of headroom. Great set up and just in time with the Holidays right around the corner.

I know with my Weber 22.5" I can fit a 14lb turkey with no problem. So with 12" of head room on the Old Smokey, I bet you could fit two turkeys in there if you stand them up side-by-side.

the idea is some 20#+ honkin' monster in the V-rack roaster ;)

Thanks for the photo set up Jack. I am bookmarking this so when I am ready for turkey day I will
know how to do it in the Old Smokey. Now I just need to order another rack or two and do your
mods. I was hoping my 22 Weber rack would fit, but nope!

the hinged wire grill grate, all grill grates for a 22" Weber are 21.1/2"
the grill grate for the Old Smokey is 21"
i added 3 pop rivets to support a hinged Weber grill
but i like having the separate, modified OldSmokey grill grates better

Thanks Jack! Will get the Old Smokey ones.

The OS setup looks great and the bird looks outstanding. ;)

here's some additional pics on the setup
i use a 10"x 14" pan upside down as a separator for the two piles of charcoal
and as a riser to set a 12"x 17" drip pan on. this keeps the ashes out of the drippings for gravy
