It seems as though the run for this tailgating grill has come to an unceremonious end after only being on the market for about three years. The story of how the Margaritaville Tailgating Grill came about has some twists and turns. I am not sure if I am liberty to disclose all the details but here is a brief history as to how this tailgating grill is becoming one of the most hard to find pieces of tailgating gear anywhere.

In order to give the history of the Margaritaville Grill, we need to tell the story of Freedom Grill. Freedom Grill was the brainchild of Scott Salter when his idea for a grill that attaches to the rear of your car was born out of necessity in 2. He was going to go tailgating and was stopped by his wife who did not want him to put his backyard grill in the back of their newly purchased SUV.

The thought of an old, dirty grill dripping grill grease in the back of a brand new SUV necessitated a new type of grill. That is when Salter came up with the concept of a grill that would ride on the outside of a car, be accessible to the griller off the ground and to swing away from the vehicle to allow access to unfold the tailgate or lift up the gate on an SUV. In 2. 00. 4, the first product was known as the Freedom Grill FG- 1.

Higher BTUs and a heavier metal basin and lid. This was the Cadillac of tailgating grills but with top of the line craftsmanship comes a higher price.

Freedom Grill needed to offer more of a “workhorse” grill that was still high quality but lower in price and more accessible to the common tailgater. That is when the FG- 5. The FG- 5. 0 enjoyed success and quickly became the envy of most tailgaters that encountered it in the tailgating parking lots. It was in 2. 00. 9 when Freedom Grill entered into a licensing agreement with Jarden/Sunbeam, the parent company of the Margaritaville brand, to market the grill. As part of the agreement, Margaritaville changed a number of aspects of the grill.

Most notable changes included the exterior colors changed to a greenish hue, they added a compass to the tilt out condiment tray, added palm tree decals to the swing arm and replaced the Freedom Grill logo on the lid handle to their own. Other than the aesthetic changes, the nuts and bolts of the grill remained the same. The functionality of the grill was almost identical to the FG- 5. The biggest change was in the way Margaritaville was able to market these tailgating grills.

Jarden/Sunbeam manages hundred of other brands and products and has what is known in the industry as “market penetration”. In layman’s term, that means they have the network and connections to get products in front of consumers not available to smaller companies. It also meant that a large advertising budget, larger than what a small company like Freedom Grill could afford, was put into action. In the late summer of 2. Margaritaville Tailgating Grill started popping up on networks like ESPN and NFL Network to try and capture the sports fanatics’ and tailgaters’ attention.

Also at that same time, the Margaritaville Tailgating Grills were spotted popping up in online retail giants like Amazon and Buy. These grills also started showing up in brick and mortar stores like Costco Warehouses.

With the marketing push and the advertising budget behind it, it appeared the Margaritaville Grill was poised to explode in popularity and we expected to see a lot more of these grills in the parking lots. Unfortunately, these grills didn’t experience the meteoric rise we had expected. We saw a few of these newer model grills showing up while out tailgating but not the large number we had anticipated. All we can do is speculate as to why the grill didn’t sell as well as expected. One theory is that the grill was introduced at a poor time in American history in that the country was struggling in the midst of a very deep recession. People were losing their jobs, losing their homes and money was very, very tight. Many tailgaters that may have wanted to buy a new grill for the upcoming football season may have passed on getting a Margaritaville Tailgating Grill just because they did not have the money. Watch The Full The Little Hours (2017) The Movie.

It’s hard to justify to your wife buying a new $4. Another theory we have for the Margaritaville’s lackluster sales performance may have been the choice of colors and branding. The Parrottheads and Jimmy Buffett fans may have loved the colors but sports fans? Not so much. We received numerous emails from sports fans and tailgaters asking us where they could buy the old FG- 5. It was made abundantly clear to us they did not like the green colors and tropical theme. One email even said,“I have wanted to get an FG- 5. I saw one in the parking lot a few years ago.

I scrimped and saved and now I finally have the money to buy one only to find out they changed it to this ugly green color with palm trees all over it. I am a die- hard Dallas Cowboys fan and I tailgate at all the games. If I show up to Texas Stadium with a green grill on the back of my car, people will think I am an Eagles fan and I will probably get my ass kicked. Please help me find a regular old FG- 5. That email was not the only one. We literally got dozens of similar emails begrudging the color and style change and telling us they will be forced to buy a competing product or will just have to make due with the old grill they wanted to replace. It was from these emails that prompted us to put together this DIY How To Customize A Margaritaville Tailgating Grill To Your Team’s Colors demonstration video.

We received lots of feedback from this video thanking us for not only finding a way to help tailgaters get a new grill but to “cool it up” to represent and support their favorite team. We even heard back that one guy bought two grills and customized one to his favorite college team and the other to his favorite NFL team because he tailgated at both. We often times would share photos readers submitted to us showcasing their own grills they customized themselves. A byproduct of showing people how to customize their own Margaritaville Tailgating Grill to their own custom team grill was tailgaters were contacting us and asking us to customize the grills for them.

This was not the original intention of putting together the DIY video but many people said they thought we did a nice job and would rather pay us to do it for them. A small side business was born customizing these grills to various team colors and logos. Some grills turned out very basic while others turned out quite intricate and detailed. A few of our favorites that turned out pretty awesome (in our own humble opinion) were the New York Yankees grill, The University of Maryland Grill and the Notre Dame Grill.

The Yankees grill was special in that it was the first grill we customized that was not a college or NFL team. We also were asked to somehow replicate the legendary Yankee pinstripes reflecting the rich tradition the Yankees are known for.

As you can see by the above photo we were able to do it and make the grill look identical to a Derek Jeter jersey. Another grill that really stands out in our minds was the Notre Dame grill. This grill was done for a fan that lived and worked in Kentucky but would drive 1. South Bend to take in a Fighting Irish game. The tailgater wanted the grill to resemble the helmet of the Notre Dame football team and this brought up two challenges. The first challenge was finding the correct color paint to match the highly recognizable and famous Golden Dome helmets. The bigger challenge was finding that color paint that was heat resistant because the parts being painted, the grill lid and the basin, would get hot.

It was a challenge but we were able to find the correct paint and pull it off.
