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, SUV and RVs for tailgate parties and away-from-home barbecuing. 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 be swung 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 is safely 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 the dangers of hot coals and lighter fluid required by small tabletop grills. The external stainless steel grill will also appeal to grilling and barbecue aficionados who don’t want to transport a dirty, 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 spirit. And 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. “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. “True fans tailgate at every home game and get to the stadium hours before game time. These are the fans the Freedom Grill was designed for.” The Freedom Grill FG-100 will appeal to a wide range of outdoor users, from campers to boat- and RV-owners and others who want to enjoy the delicious meals of a backyard barbecue away from home, without the hassle of having to pack a greasy backyard grill inside a their vehicle. Owners will enjoy the liberating portability, superior performance, and cleanliness of the new Freedom Grill. Outdoor enthusiasts who tow boats, trailers, or other toys for weekend fun 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.” Freedom Grill 100™ Features: 304 stainless steel construction 30,000 BTU stainless steel dual high-efficiency burners with 650-degree Fahrenheit capability 384-square-inch cooking area State-of-the-art electronic igniter 180-degree swing-out arm with lock 180-degree grill rotation and lock Kickstand for level grilling and stability Transport lock Heavy-duty grill cover (soon to be available with NCAA and NFL logos) Freedom Grill arm assembly features MIG-welded steel tube construction and powder coat finish for long life Easily attaches to vehicle's 2" receiver-type hitch application* Pass-through collar hitch attachment allows use with extended ball mount for towing other items Tank mounting bracket accepts 5- & 10-lb.
