EPA May Soon License Barbecues and Impose Fines for Cooking on Them


So, you thought your summer-time barbecue was an innocent way to enjoy and spend quality time with family and friends.  But, wait, you may soon be arrested and fined for those fabulous barbecued ribs that you grill. What, say that again?  Yes, the EPA just announced that it is funding a project at the University of California to limit the emissions resulting in grease drippings, of all things, with a special tray to catch them and a catalytic filtration system.

So, when you fire-up that barbecue grill this summer, please remember, especially if you do not have a grease diverter system or a PM2.5 filter installed on your grill, that you may soon be in violation of EPA regulations on barbecuing.
