The Primo Ceramic Turkey Sitter is the larger of Primo's two ceramic sitters, made for a bigger bird than the chicken version. It holds the bird on end over the fire, which is a different proposition from laying a turkey flat in a pan.
Upright roasting suits a large bird particularly well. Laid on its back, a turkey cooks unevenly — the breast is exposed and dries while the thighs, tucked underneath, lag behind, and the whole underside sits in liquid. Stood up, the fat drains down the length of the bird, air moves right around it, and the heat coming off a charcoal fire reaches the back, the sides and the legs rather than pushing down through the top. A ceramic sitter also warms with the grill and stays warm, so the cavity has a steady heat source rather than a cold object filling it.
The listing names no Primo size, so it is not tied to a particular grill in the range. Height is the thing to check on your own grill rather than diameter, because a bird standing on end needs room under a closed lid. For smaller poultry, the Primo Ceramic Chicken Sitter is the other half of the pair, and the Primo V rack is the flat-cradle alternative that fits four grills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why roast a turkey standing up?
Because a turkey laid flat cooks unevenly. The breast is exposed and dries out while the thighs underneath cook slowly, and the whole underside sits in its own liquid. Stood on end, fat drains away, air circulates all around the bird, and the heat gets to the back and legs as readily as the top.
How is the turkey sitter different from the chicken sitter?
It is the larger of the two and named for the larger bird. The Primo Ceramic Chicken Sitter is the smaller version for everyday chickens. If Thanksgiving is the reason you are buying, this is the one; if you roast birds most weekends, the chicken sitter probably sees more use.
Does it fit a particular Primo grill?
No Primo size appears on this listing, so it is not sold as a size-specific part the way deflectors and grates are. The real constraint is height rather than fit: a large bird standing upright is tall, so measure the clearance in your own grill with the lid closed before the day itself.
Do I cook a turkey directly over the coals with it?
A bird that size wants indirect heat, so the fire should be shielded rather than blazing straight underneath. Set the grill up for roasting first, with deflection between the coals and the meat, and put something below to catch the fat that runs off during a long cook.
