With the family trips of 7 a pound of bacon, a pound of sausage, and then either eggs, hash browns, French toast, or pancakes (not every morning though). So yes, I am rendering lard! The curtains, canvass, upholstery, and fuzz on the top will absorb a lot of vaporized and splattered grease. And I hate cleaning the van.
For dinner I grill the protein and vegetables on my Campfire Grill using charcoal, not a campfire. I have both the 18" with the optional charcoal pan and the Rebel, and they are great. http://campfiregrill.com/ We eat a lot of seafood broken with the occasional rib eye, and sometimes my son in law actually catches dinner! Usually Dungeness crab and salmon.
We always camp along the west coast, and our favorite spot has moorage so my son in law and daughter can sail up to join us. We are never far from a decent store!

This is a phenomenon I have not noticed in my 230+ Westy camping trips while cooking full meals inside for often five people and sometimes six. Are you rendering lard in there or something?
