24qt Dutch oven
This 24qt aluminum one looks to be smaller but cheaper:

There are some 40qt Dutch oven out there, but I did not find any that I want to link to.
If this is getting to be the right size range, it might be worth posting a thread in the basement asking about sources for really large Dutch ovens or canning pots strong enough for use as a vacuum pot. Fred probably has some ideas. I do not know whether Fescue might have any large canning pots still left over from his jelly business (or if they would be strong enough).
He is still here???
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.

If it helps anyone else, this is the sort of stuff I used for my gasket -

Since I'm using a paint pot, I could use the hold-downs for the lid to get the seal started, but I think if you used something like a dutch oven you could probably just lean on the lid a bit to get it going if you have the pump on. At least in my case it doesn't take much pressure to form the seal. Once you get a little vacuum started, it should stay sealed by itself.

Wow, I wish I would have seen that when I built mine. I really like that lid.

Fescue has not been here in a while but his father (Wild Turkey) could ask him.
