Many inexpensive open-flamed grills on the market today are made in China. China is over 6,000 miles from America's west coast. That's a long way for a grill to chug across the sea. Not only that, the grill was likely made in a factory with little emission abatements. If you consider the smoke caused during the production process and the smoke released during ocean transit and the smoke the grated grill emits in a lifetime, it adds up to a lot of pollution.
