OK - This is a stupid question I acknowledge this upfront - I'm bringing my family to the valley to camp for a week (I was one of the lucky ones back in February 15th and landed a reservation - I have three daughters and they are all freaking out about the bears (including my wife)
I know all of things I have to do - bear box for everything including toiletries, etc
However, I'm not too excited about using the fire ring to cook my food and wanted to bring up my smoker to cook - We love to use mesquite briquets to flavor the food but they usually take many hours to cool off and at home I wait until the next morning to clean it out once the coals have gotten cold.
Would this be hazardous regarding the bears? - Also, what about the grill that may have drippings still on it - Is it possible to clean it off immediately - are there sinks by the bathroom that would accomodate this? Is it unwise to leave it like this overnight?
Any advice would be appreciated!
