Amateur smoker here... bought a fresh turkey form a local farm. Turns out what were initially thought to turn out to be 15lb birds were all closure to 20lbs. Trying to follow the Traeger YouTube recipe online and put it in a roasting pan on the smoker. Problem is it’s just a little too large to make the vertical clearance. I was thinking of removing the grill grate and putting the roasting pan right on the tray. Is this a good idea? In this instance I can’t think of a specific reason why it would t work or be good. Yes it’s closure to the fire box but with the roasting pan this should offset that. Of course the easiest thing is to buy a bigger smoker Any advice is welcome.
