Title: Off Road ATV Camo BUFORD UDS Done!
Post by: FatCharlie on November 18, 2010, 08:38:20 am
Just finished building this BUFORD as a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law. 

He's and avid ATV rider and has a home and a few quads in Flag.

He has a few acres and will be storing BUFORD on the corner of his property and will use a quad to grab it and bring it to the house.

Tongue is removable and pins to the back of the frame.

Thanks all!   8)

Going to break the camo unit in on 11/27.

It should cook just fine like my other drums that share the same design.  This
camo unit is a duplicate of this one;

Light sanded the drum, sprayed the Rust-O- Leum heat paint as a base.
Then sprayed the Rust-Oleum camo paints.
So far about 6 cooks on it and no signs of peeling, etc.

3) 1" ball valves, gets plenty of air and also can maintain 180 degree temps for smoking salmon, etc.  No leakage around the access door or cone top.  These things work great!

That is so awesome...  I need one..

You don't want to know how much I got in them,,thanks!

That is so cool 8).......Did anyone ever tell you you're a friggin genius ;D

My mom always told me I was "special" when I was a kid as she walked me to the short school bus, is genius the same?
