Red cedar barrel ice bath with stainless interior
Prices verified May 2026.
Independently vetted, no sponsors. How we vet
The Canuck Red Cedar Barrel is the classic barrel look in the line, red cedar outside and stainless steel inside in a compact 33 inch footprint. It suits a buyer who wants the traditional barrel aesthetic and a small footprint and will cool with ice. Two honest points: there is no chiller, and the barrel shape means an upright posture rather than lying down, so choose it if the look and footprint matter more than a reclined soak.
