2 rules for unincorporated Glenn County, California.
Verified from official government sources
There is no special Glenn County ordinance restricting backyard barbecues or propane grills at private homes. Use follows the adopted California Fire Code and basic safety practice: grill outdoors, keep the unit clear of structures and combustibles, and never leave it unattended. During high wildfire danger, open-flame restrictions and defensible-space rules effectively limit grilling near brush.
Glenn County has no specific ordinance regulating residential meat smokers or wood/pellet outdoor cookers. They are treated as outdoor cooking devices under the adopted California Fire Code, not as open burning, so long as they are used for cooking. Wildfire-season open-flame restrictions and defensible-space rules in the western foothills are the main practical limits.
