@Travis- Heck, prior to joining this club, I didn't even know that Weber made a 26" kettle. What really made it nice was I didn't have to insulate or cover parts of the turkey to protect it from excessive heat exposure. Cooking turkeys on a 22", I have to cover the wing tips and sides of the turkey with foil, as they are so close to the charcoal baskets. With the 26", the charcoal baskets are not as close to the turkey, providing more even heat. Also a lot more head room for the turkey beneath the lid. Only problem was adding briquettes every hour. It was a two person job. I lifted the grate and turkey while my wife dumped the additional briquettes in each charcoal basket. In the future, I will probably be using my newer 26" that has flip up grates for cooking food that requires adding additional fuel. Also the newer one has a lid bail.
This is a turkey on a 22"
