I bought a stainless steel stock pot at big lots for 10 dollars, drilled holes around the outside of the bottom, and space it off the bottom about an inch with some rocks. then put the charcoal in the pot and the wood on top. make sure you use a pan of water for a buffer between the heat and the meat. works perfect.
Recommendations: Look for glazed terra cotta pots.. terra cotta has a low vitrification temp, glazes have higher melting points and withstand more heat before melting. I also recommend using a chimney starter for your charcoal instead of starting the fire in the pot. If you must use charcoal, use your replacement grill to hold the coals, and a larger grate above. Many people are using hot plates with a skillet full of woodchunks on top... probably get better results with that. Good luck!

how about adding some sand in the bottom to work as a heat sink? good luck!
