Cooking A Turkey On A Gas Grill. For an 18 1 2 inch grill use 20 briquettes on each side for the first hour of grilling and add 7 briquettes to each side every hour to maintain heat. I like to use 2 handfuls of cherry and 1 handful of hickory.
Add 6 to 8 briquettes to each side every 45 to 60 minutes. If you buy a frozen turkey it will take about one day for every five pounds to safely defrost in your refrigerator. Grilling methods and cooking times will vary depending on the recipe you choose.
