In fact, we need to ban all grills that burn something – wood, charcoal, propane:
Charcoal may be great for barbecues — but it’s bad for the planet | (ted.com)
In addition to accelerating biodiversity loss, the charcoal industry releases planet-warming greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. According to a 2017 study, forest degradation alone is responsible for 2.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Then, burning wood in kilns to create charcoal and transporting it overseas on ships generates significant amounts of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane. Closer to home, the average grill produces about 11 pounds of carbon dioxide per hour, according to The New York Times. That means a typical two-hour charcoal grilling session emits as much carbon dioxide as driving a car for about 26 miles.

Basically, we need to ban all burning – eventually wood and propane grills too. The end of “smoked” foods.
