[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 14754340, member: 15703"] That's highly speculative. Nobody knows what costs would look like adding emission control to those items. They're just now studying effectiveness of doing so, so it's impossible to calculate any effect on pricing. Logically the R&D would cost some money, so some sort of rise in cost could be expected. It's not like grills are cheap as it is now. Heck I could walk to Lowes today and drop $800-$1000 on what amounts to a mid-level grill or smoker. I do agree about motorsports. Sanctioning bodies have been trying to slow down participants anyway, fitting emissions control shouldn't be a big issue. Same as above. Any cost analysis right now is speculative. What I'm trying to convey here is that it doesn't matter what the product is. This is a wholesale blanket statement that although unpopular is becoming more and more of a reality. If it burns carbon, it needs emission controls. Yeah costs and convenience can take an initial hit, but market competition has a way of sorting that out. Our cars are a prime example. The emissions and fuel mandates imposed in the 70's could be considered draconian. They neutered everything we love about our cars. What happened though is that companies in competition for our dollars made better cars that make more power while using less far less fuel. [/QUOTE]
