Cookie Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Any idea how I can simultaneously cook two 20 pounders in the 23" OTB? I've thought about verticle, side-by-side, but am guessing they'd still rub the sidewalls / not fit. I found some turkey setters online if anyone thinks verticle will work?

bryan Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Re: Two Turkeys - Will They Fit? How about a combo of spatchcock and whole on two levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouterpf Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Re: Two Turkeys - Will They Fit? I guess you could plea with Dennis to hurry up with 32" model; oops even if it was made and on the water it probably couldn't reach you in time. The spatcocked idea is probably best for now.

But these 5-6 kilos birdies will fit up on the upper grill but it toasted the skin ... I'm not sure the upper would fit over a 20 lb birdy.. Safest bet would be a double spatchcock... Maybe start the top one a half hour before the lower.. after it's been browned, yank it and the upper and brown up the lower one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This works in regular oven. Not sure if it will help skin problem here. But for what it's worth... Thanksgiving turkey: Place it in a paper bag. No, it won’t burn, as long as you keep it below 451F. Long and slow is the way to do it: The bag, I have found, is the perfect containment unit. The juices penetrate the meat just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis, lots of big birds over here in Singers...I don't have a fridge big enough for two, so I go to a butcher who thaws and delivers the day of the cook... Nobody thinks vertical will work, centered, with just small gap between them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why you could not tie them/lean them into each other, back bone to back bone... not much meat to cook there anyway. If you need a larger indirect area than the drip pan.. foil the lower grill front to rear to make a larger indirect area.. Photos please..
