 Verified Hiring BBQ freedom was an overall outstanding experience. Kurt removed and installed a new built in bbq unit. He was knowledgeable, professional, and displayed great communication. All I had to do was call him and he took care of the rest. He selected the perfect bbq unit, removed the old one, and installed the new one in 1 hour. I didn't have to do anything. From A to Z, Kurt is the go to guy when it comes to outdoor kitchens. Highly recommended. There is nobody better!

 Verified Kurt Blaker from BBQ Freedom designed our outdoor kitchen and sold us the components.  The kitchen turned out amazingly and we couldn't be happier with it and the post sales support Kurt provided.  It is the center of our outdoor entertaining and a dream come true for our family.  Thanks Kurt!
