Wow. What are we looking at here? What's the width of that groovy dome?

18.75 inches (perfect) for 16.00 on amazon

The boat SS handle was 6.00 on ebay

I will put half holes in lid where it meets the drum for a rotisserie

This is as far as I will go for now. There is no gap between the barrel lip and the lid (we will see how heat affects the gap (as they say in the London tube "Mind the GAP:)). I have 16lbs of butt to smoke starting 9PM Friday for a graduation party. I will add a thermometer when I have a chance to get one and maybe 2 more vent holes on other side (figure I can offset the lid if needed). Here are my pics...

I agree on the handle. A cool-touch handle would prolly fit right over those handle holes and look great.

That is such a great looking lid. Very tidy job. Thanks for sharing

I wonder if they have 22" bowls...

I believe the Zon had 22's but read the reviews for true measurements

Yes they do. Webstaurant store has them for $19 and like $30 on Amazon. Search 22 inch stainless steel mixing bowl or 30 qt stainless steel mixing bowl. BTW, on webstaurant, the more you order, the cheaper shipping is! Especially if delivered to a business.
