This is exactly the problem. The agenda driven drones at the EPA, with the carte blanche blessing of this administration are taking over the daily life of all of us. The blatant overreach of the government is unprecedented since the inception of the USA. This is like living under soviet rule! I say ENOUGH!

They don't understand. The burning grease adds a particular and critical flavor to the meat - just like burning good apple or hickory chips will do.

I say we let them light my grill. With a short stick and gasoline.

This is another attempt at control, and has nothing to do with pollution, I think. I find it similar to the law that bans building new fireplaces and forbids using existing ones (CA - Bay Area). There are modestly priced catalytic units that can be put in the chimneys of fireplaces and wood burning stoves...but this would allow people to have a back up source of heat and cooking. So the presence of these devices is not addressed: what is forbidden is independence.

A loophole has been found! People can barbeque in their back yards! So now a 'study' (with a foregone conclusion) is going to be undertaken and this activity will be forbidden - for our own good, of course.

Those AHA! moments are fantastic, aren't they? Except in this case....

As Orren Boyle said when the John Galt line had its first successful run- (paraphrasing)- Their success gives us the tools to bring them down.

It took awhile for me to realize what this meant- but through taxes and fees, we feed the very government monster that regulates us. Now, I resent sending ANY money to our government.

the bigger picture is the encroachment on the daily lives of citizens of the USA. eliminating the epa is necessary since they have non-thinking individuals who believe they can do anything they want especially now that the current top dope in charge is encouraging them to do what ever they can to disrupt the daily lives of the citizens.

Haha, recycled plastic dentures.

This seems like yet another case of gov't trying to apply the same rules everywhere. Maybe there are a few very densly populated urban areas where this is a problem. I could easily see those communities creating an ordinance. The Fed gov't, though, seems inclined to having the same rules everywhere.

In a green, new-age, environmentally friendly sort of way of course.

Charcoal and hickory chips religion.
Where is that big alien saucer when we need it?

Huzzah!

They can bite me.

Thank goodness the EPA is finally doing something about it! Why I can't think of anything that could be more harmful or create a bigger problem for climate change than a juicy porterhouse out back on the Weber! Further, they went to the right place to get help! Who could be more objective about all of this that UC?

I will never consent. Never.

This is eerily similar to the other study monitoring hotel shower durations
