Barbecue Scrubber

Just in case you may have missed it, a Fox News affiliate reports that the EPA is funding a $15,000 University of California-Riverside study to look at the particulate emissions of your backyard barbecue. The study emissions removal system includes a "secondary" air filtration system composed of a single pipe duct system which contains a specialized metal filter, a metal fan blade, a drive shaft and an accompanying power system with a motorized or manual method. Not to mention a measure on the drip pan.

When confronted with the study the EPA response was they don’t regulate people’s backyard barbecues and it is for a student designed competition.

Basically this would be a "scrubber" like those used on some other industrial applications. In application it would make your barbecue about the size of your house.

I have no doubt what and who needs to end up in the drip pan.
