Barbecue is one of those characters I've always struggled with. Why does an elite counter terrorist strike team need a firefighter?
While going back and researching the RAH comics for my Serpentor story I reread the Hydrofoil story where Cobra Island was created. That was pretty much Barbecue's moment to shine as far as the comics are concerned. But then I realized in which branch of service a firefighter is important... the Navy. So my Barbecue is a Damage Controlman on board the USS Flagg, now assigned to GI Joe's temporary Gulf of Mexico command post. Barbecue: 50th Blowtorch head, 50th Chuckles torso/arms, 25th Shipwreck right thigh, 25th Tunnel Rat legs, random bit of plastic for ribbon bar and name tag.

Two other things I realized while making this:
1. Blowtorch's head looks much more like BBQ than BT. Plus the delicious irony of that head swap.. 2. Whoever designed the Navy's rank system was a definite sadist.

I'm a big Barbecue fan (the character and the food lol). Making him part of the Navy is a great idea and the custom is terrific. Any plans to make more characters in their non-combat uniforms?

I'd definitely like to. The more civilian and non-combat oriented sculpts unfortunately seem to be among the most expensive fodder.
