Yes, contestants are definitely allowed to bring references. The rules were 
 really to rein in the volume/quantity of materials and tools so artisans 
need to  rely on their ingenuity and teamwork - what specific things artisans 
need for  accomplishing and displaying their works is up to them and they 
need to draw  from their experience and expertise for that. I think we will 
have to make an  acception for bags of charcoal or cooking stoves, however, 
as the braziers  available on site are limited, and those items would fill up 
a bankers box all  on their own! I will post that to our FB group, too. 
Thanks for the question!  BTW, the prize is a $60 gift basket from Cost Plus 
World Market - well worth  competing for!
