Technology for the Reduction of Particulate Matter Emissions for Residential Propane BBQs


How's that for an EPA title?

Perhaps this will help: It's all part of A National Student Design Competition for Sustainability Focusing on People, Prosperity and the Planet.

Still need help?  Joe Roybal's title at BEEF Magazine may be clearer:  Is EPA looking to steal the sizzle from backyard barbecues?

What the hell is this?  Basically, EPA has awarded a $15,000 grant to the University of California Riverside for students to develop a "secondary filtration system" to keep grease from catching on fire and causing air pollution.

Read Roybal's blog post to learn all about this contraption.

In the meantime Charlotte Allen at the Independent Women's Forum says, "Get the government out of our bedrooms?  How about getting the government out of our backyards?" 

I was gonna suggest you not invite any EPA employees to your barbeque.  But that's probably not enuff protection.  I'll bet they've got a whole fleet of EPA Drones outfitted to detect illegal sizzling and if caught you will be fined for the first offense and lose your government permit to cook on your own property for any subsequent violations.  Talk about your Cruel and Unusual Punishment, that would be it.
