No, it was just a simple question. It didn't say anywhere that I'd never heard of "government agency, trying to prevent wildfires, banning burning things outdoors".

We have burn bans pretty much every summer. I had just never heard of bans applying to a bbq or grill. If never having heard of that before in my area makes it a stupid question, I guess it's a stupid question. Sorry to have bothered you on this.
