You don't know your grill very well. Put the turkey in a roasting pan.
Heat is under the pan. Hey, isn't that just like your oven? Anything that
can be cooked in an oven can be cooked on a grill. I've baked bread,
pizza, cakes, roasts, etc.

Go to Wal-mart or Fleet Farm and buy an 18 quart electric raoster. Less
than $30 for an enamel one, and less than $50 for a nonstick one. They
will easily cook a 20 pound turkey, a little faster than a real oven.

Best regards,
Bob

You can always remove the stuffing and rinse the cavity- messy? yes, but it
would speed up the cooking a bit.

Hey, it's not an install... it's a *replace*, five minutes to move the old out
and in with the new... most local appliance stores will be happy to oblige but
from a big departement store say like Sears do it yourself, all you need is a
pickup to transport.

Have you tried seeing if the broiler element will fit in the oven
element plug in? Might be worth a look. Just had that idea but haven't
looked at mine because it has a ham in it at the moment.

Yep, that was one of the first things we checked out, broiler or top
heating element won't work in the bottom plug in.

Right now we're still going with the broiler solution, we've been
covering the skin (which is already pretty much done after less than 2
hours) with tinfoil to keep it covvered from getting too brown, seems
like its working so far, slower of course (maybe 3pm instead of 1pm
dinner).

Drive to the local market and buy a prebaked turkey. Put
your thawed one back in the refrigerator and figure out what
to do with it later.

Great idea! That's my favorite way (it's the easiest too,
IMO) of cooking turkey, except the rest of my family hates
it. <sigh>

You don't even need to butterfly it... it turns out evenly
browned and juicy. Don't forget the drip pan.

NO NO NO! Perish the thought. It comes out juicier than
oven baked.

Take the dressing out and do it separately in a heat proof
pan.

I agree. I tried but no luck convincing. You don't even need to take
the dressing out. 350 is 350 period. I've done several this way back
when we used to spend Thanksgiving at camp in the woods of NW PA. They
came out so good, I still do 'em that way even when my ovens are
available. We're going to my better halfs sisters house today but I've
got one thawed in the fridge, bread dryed and cut, onions and celery
have been sweat and in the fridge. Tomorrow morning, finish the
stuffing, 1/2 into the bird (for me) 1/2 outside the bird (better half
likes it that-a-way) and into the WSM at 350dF until the Taylor remote
beeper goes off telling me that the internal breast temp is 168dF.

Yeah I know, tomorrow's not T-day but I *need* my leftovers for soup,
sandwiches, pot pies, etc

I was going to suggest using a smoker/grill, even thought about posting a link
to my award winning method of smoking a turkey on the grill, but after reading
through a few (yours included) of the fine responses, I decided that the OP just
wanted to whine about a ruined Thanksgiving. He's found a reason that he
*CAN'T* use any of the suggestions.

Oh well, you can't help those who don't want help.

I was going to suggest using a smoker/grill, even thought about posting a link
to my award winning method of smoking a turkey on the grill, but after reading
through a few (yours included) of the fine responses, I decided that the OP just
wanted to whine about a ruined Thanksgiving. He's found a reason that he
*CAN'T* use any of the suggestions.

Oh well, you can't help those who don't want help.

If I didn't already own one, I'd head over to Walmart and pick up an 18-20
quart electric roaster. They're really cheap now and do a creditable job.

Got a dutch oven that would hold it?
Got some space in your back yard (provided you have a back
yard)?

Dig a pit line it with brickets put the bird in the oven put
the oven in the brickets start your fire, mounting up the
coalsto cover it. Periodically checking.

Remember it's a celebration of the Harvest how you do it is
up to you. Stiry fry the bird if necessary.

Yeah, I think in the Charleston,SC area it was either Bi-Lo
or Piggly Wiggly, or perhaps Food Lion.
