Lots of the local guys hang out and drink, the first year I went camped in the igloo area. Those guys were up all night rasing hell to the point the park people were POd. Would never camp there again, i go to fish not drink.
I have a tailgater type grill that gets pretty compact stands about 2' off the ground. It can be used for charcoal or wood. I have used it many times for getting little wood fires going.
