The Burn Barrel is a barrel located in an alley near the precinct that is used for burning things.

First rule of the burn barrel:
Never ask somebody what they're burning

―Michael Hitchcock

Through the Series

The Burn Barrel is only mentioned once, which is in the Season Six episode, Four Movements. When Gina is encouraging Amy to burn the book of Tweets she made her, they run into Hitchcock, who mentions he's never seen them at the burn barrel before.

You might want to take a couple of steps back. This is not going to smell good.
