Try the equipment
before you own it.
Pinecraft Barbecue Rentals puts Big Green Eggs, a Green Mountain pellet grill, and four Meadow Creek smokers and pig roasters out for rent from the Sarasota showroom. Rentals run by the day, by the weekend, or for up to two weeks, so a visiting family or a first-time host can try equipment before buying it.
Which rental fits the cook?
Renting fits a specific kind of cook: a second home that doesn't need a permanent grill, a week-long vacation crowd, or someone deciding between a kamado and a pellet grill before they commit to one. Pinecraft Barbecue rents Large and XL Big Green Eggs, a Green Mountain Jim Bowie Prime+ pellet grill, and four Meadow Creek units: the BX25 Cabinet Smoker, the PR36 Pig Roaster, the PR60T Trailer Smoker, and the PR72T Trailer Smoker. That range covers everything from a single-family cookout to a trailer-mounted rig for a much bigger event.
A Large Big Green Egg rental is also available mounted on a stainless steel cart, useful if the rental site doesn't already have a stand or table to set it on. Pinecraft Barbecue's rental terms run from a single day up to fourteen days, so rates scale with how long the equipment is actually out. Rates change by unit and by season; call or use the contact form to check current pricing and availability before your date.

Rental options by cook
The right rental depends on the food, the fuel you want to learn, and how the cooker gets to the site.
