It could've been an issue with the object itself, too. While I was building my current lot (it's a small houseboat for a family of four, so building it involved a lot of playtesting for routing, lol) At some point one of my sims would not get onto the second floor, even though she had been able to route there just a minute ago. Resetting the problematic object usually works. Once though, I had to delete a fridge and replace it with a new one because everyone in the family route failed when trying to use the fridge, only the butler was able to use it, lol.
I'll test out the grill once I have a sim preggers again

Is there a ton of stuff that pregnant Sims can't do in TS3 v TS4?
Is there a "safe" grill in TS3 (from the base game, Town Life, Fast Lane) --- or a way to make it safer? For example, in TS4, I put brick or stone under even the most expensive grill from Perfect Patio Stuff.
Pregnant sims can't do any activities that have a chance of killing them or could alter their lifestate. Pregnant sims are essentially immortal to 'accidental' deaths. I think you can still drown or starve them though.
-pregnant sims can't run on a treadmill, they can however lift weights.
-With pets installed, pregnant sims can't ride horses .
-With Island Pradise they can't go scuba diving or wind surfing
-From seasons pregnant sims can't use the weather machine aspiration reward
- From supernatural they can't eat magic jellybeans or use the philosophers stone aspiration reward
those are the only ones I remember atm, there's probably a lot more.
I don't think there's any 100% fireproof grill, since you can't upgrade grills. Usually in the sims the safest are the most expensive, just place them outside and don't place plants next to it and they won't catch on fire too often. Any construction items and rocks are safe to place around grills as far as I know.
