SAN DIEGO-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Just in time for football season's tailgate parties, Freedom Grill, Inc. introduces the first easily transportable high-performance barbecue grill. Catering to the ever-growing demands of the "extreme tailgating" crowd, the Freedom Grill FG-100 is a high-quality gas grill that can be mounted and transported on the rear exterior of pickup trucks, SUVs and RVs for tailgate parties and away-from-home barbecuing. "Today's tailgaters are becoming more sophisticated and demanding the coolest accessories and the best food to make the party better, and no one can doubt the appeal of fresh-cooked barbecue for these sports fans," said Scott Salter, Chief Marketing Officer. "These extreme tailgaters party at every home game and get to the stadium hours before game time. These are the fans the Freedom Grill was designed for." Featuring a breakthrough design, the Freedom Grill FG-100 attaches to the back of any vehicle with a standard 2" receiver hitch, keeping it outside of the vehicle where grills belong. The patent-pending mounting system enables the grill to swing out away from the vehicle during use, allowing easy access to the cargo space while keeping the grill at a safe distance. After cooking, the fast-cooling grill can be locked in place for transport with a triple-redundant locking system. Designed for portability and performance, the new gas grill is also engineered for safety, enabling users to avoid dangers like hot coals and lighter fluid required by other grills. The external stainless steel grill appeals to barbecue aficionados who don't want to transport a greasy, smelly grill inside a clean car or truck. For extreme tailgating fans, the Freedom Grill FG-100 kicks off those pre-game tailgate parties with style and attitude. When the game is about to start, the grill can be easily and quickly shut down and secured. The high-security transport locking system lets fans enjoy the game knowing their grill will still be there when they come back. The Freedom Grill FG-100 appeals to a wide range of users, from campers to boat-and RV-owners and anyone who wants to enjoy delicious meals prepared on a backyard barbecue away from home. Superior performance, portability and cleanliness are just a few of the benefits of the new Freedom Grill. With the optional stand for storing and using the grill at home, it can double as the backyard grill. Outdoor enthusiasts who tow boats, trailers, or other toys on their hitches will love the Freedom Grill's unique pass-through collar hitch attachment that accepts an extended ball mount, allowing them to tow these items in addition to the grill. "Being able to barbecue anywhere with my Freedom Grill makes the whole world my backyard," said Mike Meyers, an ATV fanatic who spends most of his weekends and vacations on the road. "The Freedom Grill's always there, ready to travel with me around the 50 states, and I never have to worry about what's for dinner."
