Freedom Grill Heats Up Tailgating with Launch of New FG-50 ``Ride Outside'' Grill

SAN DIEGO--June 15, 2006--Following the fiery success of the patented Freedom Grill FG-100 for extreme tailgating, Freedom Grill is launching the next generation of transportable grill, the FG-50. Based on an award-winning automotive design, the FG-50 combines the convenience of the original FG-100 stainless steel grill with greater portability and style and the retail price of $299 brings Freedom Grilling to a larger audience.

"This grill was specifically designed to look great on the back of any vehicle and like its big brother, it cooks the best steaks on the road," said Scott Salter, Chief Marketing Officer. "The FG-50 is so portable and easy to use; we are making sure that if a man dies on the road, it won't be from hunger. This grill truly deserves our title of The Official Grill of Tailgating(TM)."

Putting a greasy, smelly grill inside a truck or SUV is out of the question. Just like the FG-100, the Freedom Grill FG-50 attaches to the back of any vehicle with a standard 2" receiver hitch, keeping it outside where grills belong. The patented mounting system enables the grill to lock closed for driving and swing away from the vehicle during use. You drive with it on leaving more room inside for camping supplies or third row seating.

Designed for greater versatility the FG-50 maintains over 352 square inches of cooking space -- enough room to cook 20 burgers, 4 chickens, or 40 brats. The removable grill head has built-in legs, and fold-out side tables making it a cinch to use on a picnic table or anywhere else away from the vehicle.

The FG-50 will appeal 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 FG-50.

"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."
