Why not? I saw a Mexican volcano erupt on my PC yesterday. I can't touch that.
Volcanoes were erupting all the time back during my time during the Jurassic. What did all those years of eruptions lead to?
The Cretaceous Period of T-Rex with millions of more years of all kinds of volcanoes.
It took a 6-mile wide asteroid or comet to take out the dinos. The birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees still got through it,.

And this is what I say back to the F@&kwads at the EPA.
(4:14 second mark, specifically). 😜

Do it. And use a smoker, too!

That's bacon sacrilege!

Only $15k? I think this must be a typo, missing some zer00000s.

Excellent. Light 'er up when you can, and keep it going, NMA!

I'll do the same!

Burn, baby, burn!

(Ah, time flies. Never thought I'd be saying that!)

I haven't had access to mine for months either. Snow up to the hood.
It's melting though. And I intend to fire it up DAILY...

I saw this last night and it cried out "Post me!. But i knew somebody would.

This has a little bit to do with pork (pun intended), but as others have said in prior postings, everything to do with extending control over every aspect of our lives, no matter how mundane. And also to do with this (or similar) bureaucracies justifying their own existence (some existing little weasel was paid to come up with this study), and adding more weasels to police our backyards when this study concludes, inevitably, what a threat to our very existence BBQ'ing is.

Yes to the extent possible we should expose and defund as many of these absurd projects as we can.

But we need a much bigger solution, which I hope to speak to after dinner.

To my regret, I can't make a stand re dinner tonight. Still too cold where I am to fire up the barbie, much less clear the snow...

Citizens are the end point that get to take from the EPA.

EPA = End Point Analyzer

... and build a home with a Fireplace, Solar Power, septic tank and an electric car stored for emergency use.

Make sure you have a good 5 cords of wood stored somewhere and plenty of food. A few guns to keep away all the people who let the government be prepared for them.

For those with Netflix, there is an episode of "Young Indiana Jones" which is an insane condemnation of bureaucracy. I wish I could remember the name of the episode, but it sounds so much like this craziness.

I attended a State legislative meeting in Lansing Michigan yesterday and am so angry and pissed off I can hardly stand it. Government, even at the State level is a cluster **** (starts with f and ends with k and is not fire truck). Government agencies are filled with insane beaurocrats who have no clue and seem to have vendetta's against business people. They have solutions for problems they have not yet invented and seem bent on flexing their regulatory muscle. I am about to say the hell with it, close my business and find my own Gulch.

Mr. Obama, thank you for your concern, but my grille is not subject to government jurisdiction. For your information, mine is an all-natural grille, fueled by charcoal and either hickory or mesquite wood chips. It results in no harmful residue, because all combustion products are directly vented to the atmosphere and the resulting ash is disposed of in my garden to enrich its soil. Drippings are all vaporized and vented directly to the atmosphere during the cooking process. The resulting odors from the charcoal soot and the vaporized hydrocarbons and organic molecules can be smelled throughout my neighborhood. Any regulator coming onto my property because of my grille must be prepared to stare down the muzzle of a gun.

The EPA... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7ZLiOKk...

well that one bore fruit to regulations. jerks

This just burns my bacon!
I will not comply either.

Hello K,
Yes. It is also similar to the wood burning stove fiasco.
O.A.

Think I'll start outdoor grilling again out of sheer spite of those meddling elite PC saps.

Fight them with their own twisted logic.. by killing the cow you are preventing the cow from producing 'harmful' methane gas, which is also a greenhouse gas "Gasp!" so really by eating the cow and preventing its toxic gas attacks you are saving the planet.

I'm not complying with Obamacare either and I'm not paying their stupid unconstitutional fine.

Well said! +1

It is a means of cutting out any self reliance. No fires, no warmth. What to do?? Oh, FEMA shelter. No means of cooking your food? Well, isn't that a shame. Give your name to be on a distribution list... Oh look at the good government taking care of its people.. RUN FOR THE HILLS.

I will eat what I d*** please, and I will drink just as
much d*** Coca-Cola as I see fit. And if I had
kids, I would pack their lunches and send them to
school with lunch in paper bags or lunchboxes (if
I sent them to school at all, instead of home-schooling them). I don't need Michelle Obama,
or any other government b****telling me what
to eat or drink.

University of California, Berkeley is doing the study. Go figure.

Just what does "UC" stand for, anyhow? I don't
know that one yet.
