More than ten years ago I cycled through the states. I remember having an
excellent hamburger once (I was not into bbq or smoking at that time, so it
may have been rubbish, but in my mind it was the best I ever had (or it was
because we where cold and hungry on a wet and windy day))

Here is what I know of the place

It's in Montana on the road from Virginia city to west Yellowstone

I remember passing a lake with dead trees sticking out of the water (due to
a landslide)

The restaurant is made of wooden logs, and is near a river

I think the name was something like "big bear .."

Anyway, I remember that they where big burgers, made over a grill. The
burger tasted "smokey". I'm not sure, but I don't think the smokey flavor
came from a sauce. So, my question probably is, how does a burger get a
smokey flavor on a grill without adding liquid smoke? I tried liquid smoke,
but it did not taste very good
