Roasting a Turkey in a Charcoal Grill

Step 4: Place the Bird into the Grill

Remove the grill lid and the cooking rack and set it aside for the day. Open all of the grill vents. Set the turkey and the disposable roasting pan into the grill in the center of the charcoal grate.

Pour your hot coals into an old pan. Use tongs to place the coals between the grill's side protectors and the disposable aluminum roasting pan. Heap extra unlit coals as high as you can on top of the burning coals. The black ellipses in the graphic are coals.
