# Intoxicating Barbecues The Repurposed Whiskey Barrel BBQ Pit is for the Manliest of Men By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskey-barrel-bbq-pit References: [uncrate](http://www.uncrate.com/men/gear/grilling/whiskey-barrel-bbq-pit/) & [1000oaksbarrel](http://1000oaksbarrel.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=371&category_id=84&keyword=bbq&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=27&vmcchk=1&Itemid=27) A barbecue party isn't complete with at least some kind of booze (unless, of course, it's kiddie-inclined), and the Whiskey Barrel BBQ Pit sets the perfect mood. Especially built for the manliest of men, it repurposes an actual whiskey barrel for its design. Despite its vintage feel, the Whiskey Barrel BBQ Pit certainly doesn't come cheap. At $950, I would expect a barbecue every night.
