In my area, Southern West-Central Michigan, the law requires a cover
such as your expanded metal one. The law states that all burn barrels
must be covered with a weighted metal cover, with holes no larger than
3/4".

Here is a link to the law in Illinois I found on a Google search for
"Illinois burn barrel law".
