I have this thing in the back of my mind that in 10 years all the studies are going to show that grilling is to be cancer causing because we are charring all this stuff and the cheapass coating on these barbeques is falling into th3e food and we are eating it.

It's already proven that grilling contributes to cancer through the gas and charcoal getting all over the food. The heating of the meat alone may be enough to cause cancer:

I wouldn't be too worried about the paint.
