An 18-21 pound turkey takes about 3 hours, depending on your grill. Do not stuff the turkey when cooking it this way.

Bring long ends of foil up over breast and overlap 3 inches.  Close open ends by folding up foil so drippings will not run into pan.  Wrap loosely and do not seal airtight.

The turkey is moist and juicy--just be sure you have enough propane if your grill is not connected to your gas line!

You can use the drippings for gravy or just throw everything away-easy clean up!  Use double foil plans if you like.
