Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a novel apparatus, method, and system for a vehicle tailgate BBQ grill system. The vehicle tailgate BBQ grill system has a grease tray integrated into the tailgate configured to capture grease and prevent grease from leaking into the tailgate. A dust cover fits over the grill system preventing debris from entering the vehicle tailgate BBQ grill system while the vehicle is in motion. A cover at a top of the tailgate has a closed position configured to hide the control knobs.
