Possibly. Strong arming cities and municipalities to issue ordinances and bans with HOAs acting as their spies.
What they will do first is ban, tax, or regular charcoal and Propane.
Then, they will require Weber and other grill MFRs to retrofit their grills with expensive filters and chimneys which will make them ridiculously expensive.
Look, they already banned wood burning stoves. Research how they did that and you will get a clue how this will be done. And make no mistake - this is a DONE DEAL.
The only way to stop this increasing tyranny is to make those attempting to enforce tyranny afraid for their lives. The only way.
Period.
Again, look at how backyard waste burning was eliminated from suburbia.
My Grandparents had a 55-gallon drum in her backyard, and she lived in a quintessential post-WWII suburban neighborhood. But even when I was little it wasn’t being used anymore due to banning.
You beat me. I was gonna say......just look at California and their ‘no burn day’ regs that get longer and longer each winter. Very few burn days now. Everyone just followed like a bunch of sheep and now if I actually smell a fireplace burning in my neighborhood it shocks me.
