Hey guys, I have been lurking for a few years on HBT and mostly on the DIY thread.
I am currently fermenting in buckets but, want a Stainless Conical however, the cost is a bit prohibitive. Inspired by conicals that have been built out of plastic funnels and buckets I have searched the internet high and low for a large stainless funnel that I can mate up with a brew pot and a seal to make a conical. I have finally found the correct funnel (I think).

(amazon also sells them)
I ordered it up and now that I have it home I need to find the right stainless pot to complete the conical. I tried a 20qt walmart pot that I already have but it was just a hair too large.

Even after I made a gasket out of old tubing it just wasn't going to seal up.

So what I would like to ask everyone to help find is a Stainless pot that has a lip that this funnel will fit snugly in so I can seal it up and attach the funnel and build dirt cheap stainless conicals.
This is how wide the funnel is.

So Anyhoo hopefully we can use our combined powers for good and figure out how to make a 5 Gallon stainless conical for under $100.
Thanks,
