40qt Fish Boil Pot with Burner

Greg Byers — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 19:57:50 +0000

A 40qt Fish Boil Pot rental for your Wisconsin party or event is a unique and fun way to cook for your guests. The heavy gauge pot comes with a strainer basket and a lid. The portable stand runs on propane (a standard 20 pound grill tank) so you can use it for graduation parties, catered events or even when tailgating at the next Packer game. The 40 quart pot holds up to 22 pounds of your favorite shellfish – Lobsters, Shrimp, Crawfish, King Crab Legs, Clams, Oysters, Scallops or Mussels are prime candidates for a traditional fish boil. When using the 40qt Fish Boil Pot rental – we recommend filling it about 3/4 full and generously salting the water – about one tablespoon per quart to mimic seawater. Bring it to a boil and drop in your shellfish and cook to desired doneness!

A tip for beginners – if you are feeling a little squeamish about cooking live shellfish, place them in the freezer for fifteen to thirty minutes prior to cooking. Any temperature colder than 40 degrees will sedate or even dispatch the shellfish before cooking which will make them much easier to handle. Just remember, when adding live shellfish to the pot, always put them in headfirst and pop the lid on the pot as quickly as you can.

Charcoal Grill 2′ X 5′

Greg Byers — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 19:55:48 +0000

A Charcoal Grill is a great rental for cooking for a larger crowd such as picnics, family reunions, graduation parties and festivals. The large grilling surface will cook 40 steaks, 20 chicken halves or 60 hamburgers all at once. A Charcoal Grill will give food a unique, smoky flavor that your event guests will enjoy. Adding Applewood or Hickory chips to the charcoal will give the food an even more distinct flavor.

One of the advantages of using a charcoal grill is the is the ability to cook food directly or indirectly. This is a great option for Wisconsinites as we love to fish on our many lakes and we love to grill our fish. Invite your friends for your own Friday Fish Fry after you bring in your catch and create memories as well as perfectly grilled fish.

Tips for charcoal grilling are to keep the coals as evenly spread out and at about the same depth throughout the grill in order to avoid hot and cold spots. Make sure someone is manning the grill at all times in order to make sure food is cooking evenly across the grills surface. If adding more charcoal to the grill, wait for 20 to 30 minutes before resuming cooking to allow the grill to return to the proper heat for cooking.

Charcoal is not included with the grill rental.

Concession Rentals and Tent Rentals are great add-ons to your party rental.

Hot Dog Warmer

Greg Byers — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 19:53:17 +0000

Perfect for big events and parties, this Hot Dog Warmer holds 90 hot dogs plus a tray to warm up to 40 buns! Place your hot dogs in the steamer and guests can serve themselves within 10 minutes and throughout your entire event. Add water to the steamer reservoir about an hour before your event and plug it in to heat up the unit. Add the hot dogs when the unit is hot. We recommend placing the buns in the tray about an hour before serving so buns will be at the best temperature to enjoy and to prevent them from getting spongy.

A great idea to add a little gourmet to your hot dog party is to offer a topping bar. Of course there are the basics, like ketchup and mustard, but here are some ideas to bring it to the next level:

Onions – yellow, white, red or scallions, diced or in strips
Tomatoes – diced or moon shape slices or Rotel for a little extra zing
Relish – sweet and dill
Peppers – Banana, Jalapeno and Sport – hot and mild plus diced red, green or yellow
Cheese – any kind of shredded cheese, plus nacho cheese or blue cheese
Other meats – try pepperoni or bacon
Pickles – sweet and dill
Sauerkraut, Shredded Lettuce, or Shredded cabbage
Chili
Other sauces like mayonnaise, ranch dressing, Srirachia, barbecue, steak sauce, or even pizza sauce

Did you know the first ever Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest was in 1916! The reigning champ since 2007, with the exception of 2015 when defeated by only two hot dogs, is Joey Chestnut, who holds the record for eating 75 hot dogs with buns in only 10 minutes! You may want to rent an extra Hot Dog Warmer if you invite him to your party!

Nesco Roaster 18qt

Greg Byers — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 19:51:43 +0000

A Nesco Roaster rental is a great way to free up space in your oven when cooking for your next party or event or for keeping food warm while serving. This 18 quart roaster can accommodate up to a 24 pound turkey. When slow cooking meat in a Nesco Roaster, it is not necessary to add water to the pan as the pan is designed to roast and not steam. The juices from the meat will travel up and around during the evaporation process and will keep the meat moist and add extra flavor. Keep the lid on as much as possible so as not to disrupt the slow cooking process. To keep food warm for a buffet at you party, simply adjust the heat to 200 degrees and serve! The portability of the Nesco is a great ‘on the go’ oven and can travel with you to your venue. A Nesco Roaster rental is ideal for use at your next Packer party, graduation party, or tent party.

Adjustable temperature settings give the ability to use just like an oven. You can bake cookies or cupcakes for a birthday party, boil water and steam vegetables on a rack and so many other things. Do not use roasting bags in the Nesco as there is a risk of melting.

Popcorn Machine

Greg Byers — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 19:51:27 +0000

A Popcorn Machine Rental is a great way to add a nostalgic aesthetic to your next party or event. Our Popcorn Machine Rentals have a 3 minute popping cycle to quickly provide buttery snacks for your guests. Easy to operate, simply pour the pre-measured mix into the kettle and begin popping. The built in warming light will keep the popcorn warm long after popping. This Popcorn Machine Rental is designed to be used on a counter or tabletop. Each premade Popcorn Mix will yield 8 – 10 1/2 ounce bags of popcorn. Popcorn mix is pre-packaged with the perfect ratios of oil, butter, and popcorn and both the mix and bags are available for purchase. Click on the links below to add them to your party rental.

Did you know Americans consume 17 billion quarts of popcorn every year? That is enough to fill the Empire State Building 18 times! Since you may not need quite that much, try this handy serving chart for your party rental:

2 tablespoons of kernels, which is equivalent to one ounce of kernels, will make approximately one quart (or 4 cups) of popped popcorn.
1/4 cup of kernels, which is equivalent to 2 ounces of kernels, will make approximately two quarts (or 8 cups) of popped popcorn.
1/2 cup of kernels, which is equivalent to 4 ounces of kernels, will make approximately four quarts (or 16 cups or 1 gallon) of popped popcorn.
3/4 cup of kernels, which is equivalent to 6 ounces of kernels, will make approximately six quarts (or 24 cups or 1.5 gallons) of popped popcorn.
1 cup of kernels, which is equivalent to 8 ounces of kernels, will make approximately eight quarts (or 32 cups or 2 gallons) of popped popcorn.

Pig Roaster

Greg Byers — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 19:51:27 +0000

Rent a Pig Roaster

Renting a Pig Roaster is a fun option for festivals, outdoor parties, graduation parties, Luau’s, barbecues and so much more. The Pig Roaster will both cook your meat to perfection, but will also be a topic of conversation among party guests.

Once you have decided you would like to roast a pig at your event, the roaster will be easy to get to your venue as it is towable and attaches to a 2″ ball on your vehicle (make sure it is rated for towing).

The next step – and the big question most ask – is how do I roast a pig?

Timing – plan on about an hour of cooking time for every 10 pounds of pork.

Charcoal Purchase

Start with 30 pounds to get the roaster up to temperature and have on hand enough charcoal to add about 10 pounds every hour. Make two large lines of charcoal with a valley in the center to place a drip pan to collect all of the drippings. We recommend not using self starting charcoal as it will change the flavor of the pig.

When purchasing your pig, plan on about 1.5 pounds of uncooked meat for each guest. This will cook enough meat for each of your party guests to have a little over 8 ounces of cooked meat when serving.

Once you are ready to cook the pig, it should be placed belly side down and cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees. Keep water on hand as the grease may cause a few flare ups that will need to be put out, mainly during the first couple of hours of cooking.

Once the pig is properly cooked, remove it and prepare to carve! It might be a good idea to have a friend help with removal.

Propane Griddle

Greg Byers — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 19:51:04 +0000

A Propane Griddle has a smooth flat top surface and is great for cooking up food at parties, events, fundraisers, festivals and so much more. Using a Propane Griddle eliminates the need to have an electrical source at the venue where it is being used. Propane is available with the rental and is charged based on usage.

Remember – griddles are not just for pancakes anymore..

Griddle up some meat and veggies for fajitas for your own fiesta, butter up some sandwiches and create your own panini party, fry up some bacon for a bacon fest, and of course, you can still make pancakes.
