We bring the heat.

We would appreciate a minimum of 14 days of advance notification of your reservation for securing your Certificate of Insurance (COI) and signing your rental contract.

Last minute booking, defined as less than 5 calendar days of the scheduled pick-up, is possible. COI and rental contract processes are still required, and it is recommended that you call us at (256) 273-9752 for expedited processing.

A 50% deposit is due at the time of booking. If the reservation is cancelled within 5 calendar days of the scheduled pick-up, this deposit becomes non-refundable.

For greater than 5 calendar days cancellation, a 25% restocking fee (based on the reservation total) is incurred and the remainder of the paid deposit will be returned to the renter. (To be clear, Rent and Cook, LLC retains half of your deposit for restocking.)

Why? When a rental is reserved, we immediately prepare the equipment for your event and hold it exclusively for you. This means we clean, inspect, and set aside the items so they're ready to go, decline other rental requests for the same equipment, since it's reserved in your name, and we allocate time, labor, and resources to your order.

If the reservation is cancelled, we've already invested those resources and may have lost the chance to rent to another customer. The restocking fee helps to cover those costs and ensures we can continue offering high-quality, reliable service to every client.

We can do both.

If you are picking up the equipment, the pick up address is 119 Wall Road Huntsville, Alabama 35811. Please arrive to retrieve the equipment at your scheduled time on your contract. It is recommended to call us at (256)273-9752 ahead of time to ensure that your vehicle, towing package, and stabilization methods (bungees, ropes, etc.) are appropriate for transport.

We will deliver within a 50 mile radius of Huntsville, Alabama city center for a flat fee of $25. Please update your expected delivery address at checkout and we will verify this delivery address with you during the contracting process.

At Rent and Cook LLC, our smokers are professional-grade, high-capacity equipment designed for large events. They’re powerful, valuable tools — and like any large rental item (think construction equipment, bounce houses, or catering trucks), they require basic insurance coverage during the time they’re in your care.
This isn’t about mistrust — it’s about making sure you are covered if
someone gets injured while you’re operating the smoker, property is accidentally damaged, or the smoker is damaged or stolen while rented to you.

With a Certificate of Insurance (COI), your insurance company — not you personally — handles any covered issues. It’s simple, quick, and most customers can get it from their agent the same day. We can even recommend low-cost short-term event policies if you don’t already have coverage.
Our Insurance Requirements (In Plain English)
Show proof of at least $1M in liability coverage (most homeowners, business, or event policies qualify). List Rent and Cook LLC as an “Additional Insured” for the rental period. If towing a smoker trailer, provide $1M in auto liability coverage.  Include Third Party Property Damage coverage options.

We’ll Help You.
Never requested a COI before? No problem — just give this page to your insurance agent or call us, and we’ll walk you through it in 5 minutes. Our goal is to make this step easy so you can get cooking!
