^ This. Ditto.
Was in a different spot than the GT/Yellowstone area, but years ago to avoid an infestation of kamikaze mosquotoes we opted to cook in the vestibule area, which saturated the whole tent and all its contents with "dinner" smells. Soon after which, a very large and hungry black bear came along (from the direction of the non-door side of the tent) ... and it proceeded to shred every inch of that tent and all our belongings.
Since then, we've always cooked near a stream, washed thoroughly, changed clothes, and avoided inundating the tent/contents with "dinner" smells. Only way to do it, I'd say. Once burned, and all.
Sounds like a fantstic trip planned. Enjoy.
