I believe that would be the Jumbo Joe what ever name they use.

The IMUSA 80 quart would be the right pot,not easily found. I used a smaller pot to make mine.

Have fun building they cook great

Yep looks like the Jumbo Joe. Here's a few builds to get you on the right path.

Most 30 gallon drums are 18 1/4" in diameter. So you'd have to modify it to fit. New 30 gallon drums aren't cheap either.
