A 32 QT steamer pot is what's used for Smokey Joes and Smokey Joe Golds. Those are 14.5" grills, not the 18.5" diameter of the Jumbo Joe.
For there to be a 32 QT pot that fits an 18.5" kettle, it would be pretty darn short and not have room for 2 grates + water pan. Or am I misunderstanding here?
Whats a good distance for a water pan from the charcoal.
In WSMs the pan sits right under the lower cooking grate, right above the access door, or almost halfway up the middle section.
