I don't live in the US and so don't know the extent that EPA has regulated things. I felt a bit sad for them when Trump voiced his dislike for them. Coming from a country regularly battered by (increasingly stronger) typhoons, I believe we should at least do something to protect the environment, after all Earth is the only planet we got for now.

But this... this is just bordering on crazy! What's next, make people pay fart tax because they release methane (worse than CO₂) into the atmosphere? (Am looking at you, ruminant vegans.)

They should go after businesses first. Those that use wood or coal ovens, have them install stuff to take the soot and whatever harmful stuff their smoke produce. If they really want to regulate backyard grilling, then just implement "grill holidays" where people are free to grill as they please. Outside that, maybe each household can have a number of "grill days" per year. Like vacation leaves, unused grill days would be exchanged for money or stuff.

Gas grill!? What an heresy!

Barbecue only with vegetable coal or wood, you just need to wait for it to turn into burning coals.

Anyone with just 10 functioning taste buds and a half broken nose will agree with that statement...

I don't want petroleum residue on my meat. Gas grills are for wimps who turned their backs on an ancient rite men has shared with every ancestor.

Gas grills are not for me. The wood when burned gives the meat a special taste and aroma. The food is cooked on gas do not. Besides, BBQ is not just food, but also the process of communication. I can not imagine how you can eat the meat roasted over the gas.
