A resolution in the Michigan Senate sounds the alarm that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency could soon be meddling with how outdoor barbecue-loving Americans prepare their food. Senate Concurrent Resolution 14 expresses opposition to EPA efforts to acquire a study that could lead to regulations on outdoor grills and barbecues.
The EPA has commissioned a study intended, "To perform research and develop preventative technology that will reduce fine particulate emissions (PM2.5) from residential barbecues. This technology is intended to reduce air pollution as well as health hazards in Southern California, with potential for global application."
Sen. Phil Pavlov, R-St. Clair, and Sen. Tom Casperson, R-Escanaba, are joint sponsors of the resolution.
âWe want to prevent another absolutely absurd overreach by the EPA and keep them from getting into our backyards and shutting off our barbecues and grills,â Pavlov said.

Of course, the backyard grill is an integral part of traditional American life. Have to stamp it out.

Maybe EPA will back pedal a little if they discover Syrian refugees like to backyard BBQ too

How will they enforce any of this? Will we have a new bureaucracy riding around in cars looking for violators?

My guess is that this has to do with pork being cooked outside and the “offensive” nature of the smell/smoke to muslims.
