Good friend is a rail contractor and wants a BUFORD drum smoker with a railroad theme. Got started last week. Some cool history, the rail is from Carnegie Steel, around 1901 vintage.

Is Buford a style or something?

BUFORD= Butt Ugly Freakin Old Recycled Drum
I've been fabricating some theme based drum smokers over the years. They feature adjustable racks, cone top, side box fire basket access, extended valve adjusters, side tables, etc. Souped up UDS for the most part.
Search BUFORD on this forum if you like. :thumb:

I kept Steampunk and Rat Rod for myself. Rat Rod has been the tester for my diffuser, smoke injector, rib-o-lator, etc. I use both regularly, still turn out good Q and are great smokers!
I've always liked the Off Road Camo BUFORD, want that one back someday.

Rutland 500 degree RTV.
On my first BUFORD I actually welded all the firebox seams. PIA with that thin sheet metal.
After the the first Rat Rod BUFORD, I started tack welding the panels, taped off the side of the seams and spread the Rutland RTV to fill the gaps.
The RTV has not failed on any BUFORD. Adheres, elastic, paintable and has lasted on every BUFORD built so far. I also use it to secure the Rutland gasket on the cone top.

If you make the door section a little larger, it almost looks like a vertical offset drum smoker.

Great artistic talent and eye you have there. Where are you buying the funnels and do you know if they have 26"? Would love to put one of those on my 85 gallon UDS.
Thanks,
