"Billy Wall"
World Champion Pitmaster & Ireland Teammate
Billy Bones (real name Billy Wall) was a world-champion pitmaster and friend of Jim Quessenberry. He traveled with Jim and Silky Sullivan to the International Barbecue Cup in Ireland, competing alongside the Arkansas Trav'ler on the world stage.
Billy was part of the American delegation that brought Memphis-style BBQ to Europe — a group of pitmasters who proved that competition barbecue wasn't just an American obsession but an exportable art form.
