The Environmental Protection Agency has its eyes on pollution from backyard barbecues.
The agency announced that it is funding a University of California project to limit emissions resulting in grease drippings with a special tray to catch them and a "catalytic" filtration system.
The $15,000 project has the "potential for global application," said the school.
The school said that the technology they will study with the EPA grant is intended to reduce air pollution and cut the health hazards to BBQ "pit masters" from propane-fueled cookers.

university of California. why does this no surprise me?
They just can't leave anything alone, can they.
Next thing you know they will be telling us we have to vent our clothes dryers underground.
I think they have waaaaaaay too much time on their hands.
Keep cheering.
Good! It's about time they did something about this! Maybe it'll finally put an end to the horribly disabling effects of unregulated BBQ. But until then, let's not forget all of those who are now dead or in nursing homes because they BBQ'd too much and too often.
Give em a foot and they'll take a mile.
Some genius created a new design and now needs a law to make it sell. It's all about the $$$!
for $15,000, they better be good ribs
This is sinister genius at work!
How else could you describe getting a $15,000 grant to barbecue?
Sounds like I need to fire up the grill for some bacon-wrapped filets...or some grilled chicken. Both guaranteed to provide some smoky flare-ups!
We only hear of the things they do but a name is never attached to the over reach.
At least now we know that the bacon wrapped pizza is perfectly legal.
Abolish the EPA, and celebrate with a huge BBQ!
