The IMUSA pots are hit or miss with the Smokey Joe lids not fitting the pots snuggly for no leaks. I had one where the lid leaked a little bit, but I used it anyway. After my first couple of smokes it "gunked" up enough where I dont have a leak anymore.

You can also use the high temp braid sealers around the lid so that you dont have any leaks.

Another option is the Visconia 32quart pot which you can buy from Amazon. It is a little bit more expensive but I haven't read anything about the lid not fitting in any of their models, unlike the IMUSA pots.
