Tough question cuz, in my mind, barn burner is more than just the chosen dance; e.g. what tune is driving it. (Might be a question of what's the fuel and what's the match?)

Nonetheless, I'd think that dances having satisfying-to-get-there-just-in-time timing would be good bets. More 4 and 8 count figures, less circling, alternating between longways and across orientation, maybe extra-minor-set daliances, pass-through or cross-trail progressions, maybe(?). Avoid gimmick figures but look for interesting ones(?).

So (just a few possibilities of various degrees of difficulty, some probably on your list already): Chuck the Budgie; Young Adult Rose; Streetsboro Daisies; Beneficial Tradition; California Twirlin'; Cows are Watching/Boys from Urbana; The Bus Stop; Pedal Pushers; Joel's in the kitchen.

???

Sadly, those times when I've said to myself "I must remember that dance", I rarely have. Take this list with a grain of salt.
