Santa Monica Grillfella Loaner?

[Jed.cook]

Hey guys, I'll be on vacation in Santa Monica with my parents, my family, and my brother's family June 2nd-9th, and the house Grandpa rented for us has a sweet-looking gasser. That's fine with me for lunchtime burgers & dogs, but we usually like to do a few big dinners with steak, ribs, salmon, maybe even a brisket. You get the picture; to do this right, I'll have to have charcoal. I need to locate a kettle or two since I'll be cooking for six adults & five little kids.

I could hit CL when we first arrive, but that could take a couple days to hash out and could get expensive if I have to pay retail for a chimney & other accessories. (Especially since I probably won't have time to resell anything before we fly out again.)

I was wondering if someone local might be willing to provide me a loaner kettle or two and some basic accessories? Nothing fancy, maybe a chimney & a couple baskets, and of course any charcoal, beer, etc. left over when we head out would be yours to keep. I'm happy to throw down a deposit to cover the items as well.

Let me know if you think you might be able to help a fella out. Thanks.

Thanks @Varekai. I guess I should've added- if anyone's ever heading out this way for a vacation in Estes Park or somewhere nearby, feel free to hit me up for a loaner. 🤙

So we'll actually be in Venice, not Santa Monica, if anyone's in that area and can spare a loaner for a few days. It would save me a few headaches. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll contact the seller right away, since it looks like I won't be able to pick up a loaner for the week. I wish I could find a Performer that cheap near my house!

By the way, Venice and Santa Monica are pretty close to each other

I'll take first dibs on buying it back off you when you leave. PM me this weekend about it

Damn, the seller got back to me & said it was gone quickly. I'm not surprised at that price. Thanks for the heads up though @putoluto. Let me know if you happen to see anything else pop up in the next couple weeks.

@Jed.cook , were you able to get some help? and if not, I assume you're flying in to LAX?

Hey, thanks. I've got a call in to Sidney. Haven't heard back yet. Hopefully I'll snag something by the time we arrive at LAX Saturday afternoon. If you think you could possibly provide a loaner for the week, please PM me. I'm good for it, and I'm happy to let you keep all leftovers. (Charcoal, beer, etc.)

I would be more than happy to loan, but I'm like 5 hours north of where you'll be... I was thinking if you were driving down, I'm right on the 101. Hope Sidney can come through...

Oh yeah, that's way too far for you. Thanks though; worst case I'll pick up something cheap on CL locally or just cook on a gasser. Thanks though. Maybe someday we'll plan a trip up to NOCAL. Let me know if you're ever out in Colorado. We'll get a cookout going.
