Holidays
It’s a fact: Dads are notoriously difficult to buy for. (Ergo, dresser drawers full of socks, neckties, or novelty T-shirts.) Ask them for gift ideas, and they’ll likely insist they don’t need a thing. But showing up empty-handed on Sunday, June 16, is not an option.
For more than a decade, Steven and his team have annually collected gift options for dads who love to grill or smoke, from delectable brisket and burnt end sausages to a reservation at Barbecue University®, thoughtful presents in a wide range of prices. All are guaranteed to surprise and delight one of the most important guys in your life. Maybe you’ll even see something you’d love to receive yourself.
From all of us at Barbecuebible.com, Happy Father’s Day!
