Thanks, fellas.... keep it coming!
One thing to keep in mind - I'm on the east coast, and the vast majority of the camping will be done on the east coast. That'll range from the coastal areas with VERY wet ground conditions and bugs that wrote the base program for Alaska insects to follow, up to and through mountain areas along the east coast. That involves a ton of spiders (some of them not very pleasant), snakes, more damned biting insects... rodents, etc. And, again, the potential for rather damp conditions; something the areas of the West (aside from AK and the wetside) really don't have that much of.
As for not having fuel around to burn; not a problem. VERY damned few areas above treeline, or too soupy to have trees, and those frequently don't make for good camp sites out East with better being very easily accessible.
