The nanny state has made it illegal to use your Egg. An air-quality burn ban is in effect for King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties as smoke from British Columbia wildfires blankets the region.
• No charcoal barbecues
• No fire pits, chimineas, fire bowls or similar free-standing devices
• No campfires or bonfires
• No fireplaces, uncertified wood stoves, or uncertified inserts*
"The purpose of the burn ban is to reduce any additional harm to sensitive populations from excess air pollution and is in addition to existing fire safety burn bans. The Clean Air Agency will continue to closely monitor the situation for purposes of air quality burn bans."

Jeez, it's temporary and to address air quality problem from the fires. How is this a problem? I've heard it's smokey down into Oregon as well.

It's just until air quality doesn't pose a health risk to the majority. Does it suck? Sure. Is it a permanent ban? No. We had the same when the wildfires took over Florida and Georgia earlier this year. Not a huge issue or surprise imho.

The Seattle area is having a rough go of it between both the smoke and the heat wave which is likely to last another week or so.
I'd be fine using my gas grill, if I even wanted to go cook outside (which I probably wouldn't).“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -
Nanny state? WTF. The OP probably whines about burn bans too.

You can tell by my signature where I am. It's smoky as can be, and just plain to hot to go outside and cook!

Was just in Portland last week. It was hotter than hell in the late afternoon. Still pretty nice for most of the day (for me anyway). #brewfestKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

"Homo Sapiens are the most destructive species on this planet. It's one thing if you don't know any better, but the pride in willful ignorance, greed and susceptibility to follow fools is causing a collective crapping in the neighborhood swimming pool.
If they can't pull it together they're just going to die out slowly and painfully in a dsytopian sewer in the not-to-distant future. Too bad a minority of douche bags are going to take the beauty of humanity with them.
I will probably be better off in the long run, so thanks, idiots.
Love,
Gaia"

"The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference?"Michiana, South of the border. -
I love George Carlin, but he's a comedian (RIP).
Making a comparison between natural phenomena over a span of 4,000,000,000 and modern human civilization which has a written history of 5,000 years as an argument to b!tch about plastic bags regulation pretty much follows my point of willful ignorance.

I'm guessing the OP is a little surprised at the lack of sympathy he's getting.

Wasn't it also Seattle who put out a ban prohibiting cows from farting in excess of 6 times a day?
