Just wondering what size turkey will fit in the 22" Weber performer?

The rotisserie motor is rated for up to 20 lbs.  I did a 25 lb turkey last year on my 22" rotisserie and there was no issue with clearance and the motor handled it no problem.

Jim is correct. But...I will say though if you're cooking on the grate and need to add charcoal during the cook, a 20-25lb tom may be a little tight.

One solution would be to flip the cook grate over so the grate flaps hang down. That way you don't have to pull them up and potentially "fight" with the turkey to add fuel.

I created an account just to ask that same question. I just got another 22" grill after moving to AZ and I measured the inside a just about 8". I know we've done 23lb birds before on my father's grill but I don't know if I can fit a 20lb'er or not.

Weber site under the blog has a section on this very topic. Search what size turkey I think.
