I have the 18" bullet. My future mother n law has asked me to smoke a turkey for the big family dinner next week. I asked her how big the turkey is and its 19.6 lbs. My inexperience with smoking turkeys makes me want to ask, will this bird fit on my smoker?
 
If you don't stuff it and stand it upright, it could fit.

Like beer can turkey.

Found this picture after the post -

Here's a picture of 23lb turkey. 23 #
 
Do you know the brand of the turkey? There is a big difference in shapes of turkeys. A lot of store brands appear broad at the breast, Butterballs are generally oblong, and naturals like Plainville are almost square.
 
Billy,

I have done a 23 pound turkey on a raoster rack on my 18.5 - no problem. And this Thanksgiving season I did another 23 pound bird that I cooked the thighs and drumstick on the lower grate with the breast on top. Everything was done at same tome (thighs and breast) and was juicy and tasty.
