Question : Need help on cooking turkey on a spit!?
I have a Fire Magic Monarch grill that’s capable of cooking up to 75 lbs on the rotisserie. I need some pointers on cooking a 22 lb turkey on the spit. The rod itself is for commercial cooking (heavy duty). How can I put the bird on the spit w/out it flopping as it’s turning?
and also, what setting on the grill should it be?
Also, I have a counterbalance weight. This is offered with any grill that has a rotissarie.

I don’t think I’d attempt it… the skin will be burned before the insides get cooked.

Maybe split it in half (“splatch-cocked”), tie it to the spit so it’s not so thick, and try it that way. I’d go low and slow on it, 300ºF or less, until internal temp is 160ºF. Remove to platter, cover in foil, and let rest 30-45 minutes.

Has anyone cooked Turkey on a spit before? I need tips.?

Question : Has anyone cooked Turkey on a spit before? I need tips.?
I have a Fire Magic grill (Monarch) & am thinking about cooking a 21-22 lb. turkey on my rotisserie. Last year I tried it & had to take it off since it started to flop everytime it turned over to the back end. Can someone give me some pointers on how to secure the bird on the spit? And also the temp setting I should use (med, med-high, etc.)?
I have a commercial grade grill that can hold up to 75 lbs.
Like I said above – I have a Fire Magic Monarch that’s capable of holding up to 75 lbs on the spit. A 21 lb bird isn’t too big.

Buy those fire resistant elastic bands meant for that.

Also, 21-22 lbs is an awful big bird to put on a grill spit. I have a big grill, and would have trouble with a bird bigger than 12lbs.
