Dad-Approved Barbecues

Alyson Wyers Counts Down Her Top Picks for Father's Day BBQ Presents

If your dad requested a fairly significant appliance this year, this Father's Day BBQ selection gives you lots of options. Trend Hunter Research Writer Alyson Wyers discusses her favorite examples of dad-approved barbecues, from flat pack grills to minimalist table design and voice command machinery.

The practically flat portable cookers are ideal when it comes for saving space. Storage becomes a cinch with its flat pack design. A step up from that would be slide-out grills like the Gunni Movable Kitchen. Sleek in esthetic, the appliance has drawers containing the grill, cutting boards, cutlery and other Father's Day BBQ essentials. Or for the more tech-savvy dads, there is the voice command barbecue from Lynx. It has a Siri-like feature to make sure any mid-grill queries are taken care of.
