Burch Barrelīurch Barrel V2: This is a unique and brand new addition to the outdoor cooking world, sort of its own category and perfect for the trendsetting Dad, the early adaptor, design freak or gizmo lover, but also has a rough side that lets Dad channel his inner cowboy. There's nothing in BBQ like the Burch Barrel, which can grill, smoke, and much more - with cowboy. Like Hermes or Prada, Big Green Egg is a marquee brand that only sells via authorized retailers like patio specialists and is never discounted.
