Some communities along Colorado's Front Range are forcing grillers using charcoal to put their steaks on the back burner.

Bans are in place for Arapahoe, Boulder and Larimer counties, along with some parts of Jefferson County.

The cities of Englewood, Aurora and Lone Tree have similar bans for outdoor grilling.
