About Freedom Grill
Freedom Grill, Inc., founded on July 4, 2002, designs and provides innovative products and accessories for the tailgating, camping and outdoor activities markets. The Company has combined the sizzle of the fast growing specialty automotive aftermarket with America's hunger for better cooking indoors and out. Headquartered in Poway, California, the Company's innovative market entry product, the Freedom Grill FG-100(TM), was an easily transportable, high-performance gas grill designed for the Extreme Tailgating crowd. The FG-50 "ride outside" tailgating grill was the first grill designed specifically to look and perform great on the back of a vehicle as well as a tabletop or cart. The grills mount to any standard tow hitch for maximum versatility. With the barbecue grill mounted outside the vehicle, there's more room inside for gear, food, or passengers. The swing away arm and high quality gas grills make Freedom Grills the ideal accessories for trucks, SUVs and RVs. The FG-50 grill is now marketed under the Margaritaville brand name through a licensing deal with Sunbeam, Jarden Consumer Products. Freedom Grill continues to sell accessories and trailer sized tailgating grills under the Freedom Grill brand name and is planning the release of a new grill later this year.
With "The Official Grill of Tailgating(TM)", cooking outdoors has never been more convenient. Freedom Grills are perfect for tailgating, camping, fishing & hunting, and even home grilling on decks, patios, or backyards. For real barbecue aficionados Freedom Grill even offers an award-winning line of Fire Brand Grilling Sauces. The Company's products are sold through specialty BBQ retailers, sporting goods stores and hardware stores.
