#PorkSteakRebellion debunked: No, the EPA is NOT banning BBQ grills

Yet another chapter of the conservatives' War On The EPA continued this past week, as Fox "News", conservativeblogs, and Missouri State Senator Eric Schmitt led the charge in lying about the EPA's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s study on reducing emission from BBQ grills in order to gin up anti-EPA sentiments.

St. Louis Business Journals' Ben Unglesbee:

Under the hashtag #PorkSteakRebellion, Schmitt has taken to Twitter to denounce the EPA for backing the study, which won the initial grant last July. While the EPA notes on its website that perspectives and conclusions by project winners don’t represent the agency’s views, Schmitt has voiced concern that the government might soon look to regulate backyard grills.
Schmitt told the Washington Examiner this week, “The idea that the EPA wants to find their way into our back yards, where we’re congregating with our neighbors, having a good time, on the 4th of July, barbecuing pork steak or hamburgers, is ridiculous and it’s emblematic of agency that’s sort of out of control.”
Not stopping there, Schmitt has preemptively introduced a resolution discouraging the EPA from regulating barbeques and has started an online petition asking the “EPA and government bureaucrats to stop wasting taxpayer dollars trying to regulate backyard grills and barbecues.”
An EPA spokesman said the agency does not regulate backyard grilling and has no plans to.

Facts from EPA:

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.

Amazing Ribs's Facebook Page debunks the lies told by Fox and the RW media apparatus:

Hearth, Patio, and Barbecue Association (HPBA):

HPBA is not aware of any initiative by EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) that would involve or contemplate the regulation of grills in the U.S.

[...]

In the U.S. and other developed countries, most grilling and barbecuing enthusiasts cook outdoors in a well-ventilated area. In parts of the Third World, many people cook on open fires indoors in very poorly ventilated areas. Groups like the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves are working to address this problem and also host the annual Cookstoves Future Summit. The EPA makes it clear on their website that this is largely an issue in the developing world.

There is a bigoted t-shirt on Teespring depicting anti-Islamic and anti-EPA sentiments in support of the #PorkSteakRebellion.
I, like most all of us Americans, love our cherished barbecue cookouts... but to say that the "EPA's coming for our grills" is a burnt pork steak full of lies ginned up by the conservative media apparatus and a Missouri State Senator.
