First of all, let me just say that I have no idea where the name for these things came from. I didn't name them, although I'd happily take the credit! While it's a definitely a horrible sounding name for a delightful foodstuff, it's also a playful and memorable one. Alternately, these could be called "Bacon Wrapped and Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeños", which is what they are. This may be what you'd call them when talking to your mother, but for me and my smoker buddies ... the name stays.
An Atomic Buffalo Turd is actually not that spicy! Sure, they've got a little kick to 'em, but because part of the process involves scooping out the seeds and internal ribs, most of the capsaicin is removed, rending the chilies relatively feeble. If you'd like to make them hotter, feel free to throw some of the seeds into the chorizo, before stuffing. This'll give 'em a little boost!
