Glad you like what I've done with Barbecue. I was worried that he might be too much of a departure from the original.
I've been racking my brain for a use for Barbecue's thematic opposite though: Blowtorch. I'm already sure I won't be using him as a flamethrower guy since nobody uses flamethrowers in combat anymore (or at least no one openly admits to still using them... I think using one against enemy combatants these days will earn one a trip to the International War Crimes Tribunal) but I just can't see the Joe team needing a full-time welder/steelworker (the closest thing to the flamethrower job, at least in terms of visual elements and theme, in today's military that I can think of). I guess a welder would be useful as a breacher, but I've already got Barbecue for that job.
