A suggestion, if you can't find a barrel that suits, might try locating an old hot water heater tank at the dump. Can't speek for where you are ,but it's not hard to locate defunct water heaters here. For instance a 40 gallon ( the most common here)gas fired tank will also yeild a nice long piece of about 3" diameter flue pipe.I think the 40 gallon is about 16" in diameter. You could cut it to the length needed and have a nicely welded bottom on whichever end used. Another ring cut would yield the lid form.
If there's enough left the end could be cut off and the resulting 16" tube split top to bottom then squeezed to a smaller diameter, screwed together and used for the inner refractory form (use sheet metal screws from the inside so they are easy to remove when collapsing the form to take it out) On second thought you could just leave the form in there ,it will eventually decompose.
Good luck,
