I'd imagine it would fit any Weber 18" but for sure it fits the jumbo joe. Do you have a jumbo?
Great build, I got my 80 qt Stainless pot delivered today. I wonder if this pot would fit on a weber performer?

Been to 4 different Targets. No luck. The funny thing is here they are all getting rid of their Garden centers, so not much outdoor stuff anyways. Oh well keep looking. I did see a Masterbuilt 18"grill that looked promising at Home Depot and it was around $40ish......
Ah too bad you can't get a Jumbo on clearance...well maybe you can. Got mine at Target for 19 dollars and i figured at the time I'd at least have a good grill if i couldn't find a pot that would work. It's amazing what you can find in the fall when all the grills go on clearance. :)
Yeah the Target here does not have a Garden Center here either. Home Depot and Lowes do not have them on closeout either.
Myles it's the Concord 80 Qt Stainless that's on EBAY. Man do I love that cooker and for under a 200 dollar build it kicks the crap out of a WSM 18.5". PM me if you got questions, problems or want suggestions.
Excellent post. I just picked up a clearance Target Jumbo Joe tonight ($41, hinged grills on clearance for $12) and have been combing Ebay for pots. What brand did you use? Many of the sites have no measurements and it's a little unnerving to order an expensive stock pot with a chance that it might not fit. If you have a brand/model name that would be really helpful. Thanks for such a nice detailed description!

Great thread! Just got a Jumbo Joe.
I don't NEED an 18-1/2" WSM substitute, but can't resist building one. Hoping to find an aluminum pot that fits; otherwise have some ideas about getting a roll of aluminum flashing 20" or 24" wide & riveting it into a cylinder. Problem: the diameter at the bottom should be ~17-1/2" to fit the JJ kettle, but the top should be ~18-1/2" to fit the lid. If I can't find an affordable pot I'll make a jig & form a tapered cylinder. A roll of flashing 25' long (5+ times around) is about $35. 50' (10+ times, or 2 5-ply bodies) is only about $10 more.
Don't think I'll need to make a charcoal ring, though, as Weber's charcoal baskets for 22-1/2" grill fit well and only cost ~$15.00 a pair:
Will let you know how it goes! Hopefully these things will be as popular (& well-supported) as minis someday.
