We still use a fire, but we brush the ice and snow off the grill before we start. Sometimes we take the food indoors to eat, unless we have a neighbor that gets up tight about outdoor light. Then we brush the ice and snow off the picnic table and eat there so we don't have the indoor lights shining out the windows of the house upsetting our neighbor. Sometimes we even take the Scouts camping in the middle of winter and eat and sleep under the stars.
