What do you do with your used cooking oil/grease

I didn't see any topic on this and was wondering what other people's solutions are and I have one that has worked for us. (But isn't the nicest solution)

Dood! You did get the word that this event is Leave No Trace, right? That means you either eat the grease (especially if it's bacon grease), smear it all over your body...or bottle it and take it home with you (what most of us do).

Burn IT!

or bring a metal sealable can that you can use to put the oil in, so when you take it home it doesnt spill all over the place, until it hardens up.

My camp usually uses empty champagne bottles we have laying around. if you go that route I suggest a funnel, and no pee funnels do not work that well for pouring hot grease and oil through.

What would happen if you tipped the whole load in your burn barrel?
Just askin'.

Would probably start a nice fire.
When I was kid we used to go to Bonny Reservoir every summer. One time when it was really windy and we were having trouble getting the fire going, my grandpa smeared bacon grease, from breakfast, on a few of the logs, cardboard, and newspapers. Then lit a rolled up piece of newspaper to use as a long match. It didn't burn as well as you'd think, since it had hardened. But once it got soft and started to drip it burned real well.

This is something I came up with when I stopped into a bacon gifting at a camp near us when I was with Apok.

They had run out out bacon but people had arrived either because they smelled it or heard about it. They were also asking that the eaters of bacon take the grease with them and clean their pan.

I asked if they had any bread, they did but is was kinda stale. It was good enough.

We fried up the bread in the bacon grease, the sharks were more than happy to eat all of it and with a couple paper towels the frying pan was cleaned. I've been doing this for a few years now.

However, Two things to be aware of:

Make sure the bread doesn't soak up too much of the grease
Don't eat too much of the fried bread

Both of these with have the same effect on whoever eats the "Toast". That being some quality time in the portapotties.

Hey stop by the Playawaste Raiders camp over in Terminal City, We will be giving away BaconToastÂ® whenever we are done eating our bacon. It is an experience you won't forget.

You should pass out Viagra pills to everyone who consumes this bacontoast just to enhance thier portapottie experiences.

Also, don't drink any cold liquids after or you'll have a nice wad of solid bacon grease in your stomach.

Oh yeah, bacon grease biodiesel!

Mix it with dirt so it doesn't leak out of your garbage sack. We use trash compactor bags, they're more robust.
