Also, read through the other posts that talk about Thanksgiving and or turkeys.
Your answer might already be out there. I'm betting that a 16 pounder will fit.

I'm not sure I would trust someone's assurance that a 16-pounder will
fit. It's not as if the weight of the bird is any precise indicator of
its dimensions. I would measure the grill area of the BGE and measure
the dome height in the middle of the grill and toward the edge, then
take a tape measure to the grocery store.

For comparison, I just did 21.5 lb bird that measured 13.5 inches
by 11.5 inches (at it's widest point). Hope that helps.

Don't know about BGE, but I've got a 16 pounder sitting on the counter now
that's 11wX14LX*H. It'll fit in a GrillDome easy(18")

One of the links I posted somewhere in this thread has a 22 pounder in a BGE. I'm
betting that almost any 16 pounder will fit in the BGE. I've got a 15 pounder
waiting to go in my K5 (very close to an BGE in size) that will really fit in my
K3 if I really try (medium Egg size)

(note to Barry, check out BGE again. More responses coming in tonight)

don't forget you can stand up a turkey vertically if you need the room. I
kinda know how these dome tops work
