Bears are no different than people.  By that, I mean that  in some areas they mind their own business and stick to themselves, and in others they're assholes who won't leave you alone.  Then, there's always the lone dickhead who fucks it up for everyone else and needs to be dealt with. 

Beyond the standard tips of securing your shit and taking proper care of you garbage, an Alaskan is not going to be able to tell you about a particular area in Montana, anymore than this Minnesotan can..

I ended up speaking with my real estate agent. It was pretty similar to what you said. There was a Grizzly attack in whitefish where the bear broke into a house and killed a woman, but she was fairly confident that there was more to the story. 
 

There are more grizzlies as you head towards Glacier so on the West side it is mainly black bears. 
 

She lived at the top of Mountain next to her mom and she barely saw any bears other when they did stupid things like leave food out. But her mom who was Nextdoor had lots of issues. Her mom had fruit trees though. And she had 3 terrier that made lots of noise.
 

overall, she thought it would be fine to have an island grill in a sun room. Trash seems to be a bigger issue than grills. And if the grill is cleaned and kept in the enclosure, they probably wouldn’t mess with it.

Last Christmas, I went to London.  On the flight back, I got up to walk around a bit (even though my 1% ass was in First Class) and I asked the FA for another drink.  We started chatting.  She told me that she lived in PHX with her husband who was an AA captain.  They had just bought a place outside Anchorage.  "It's awesome...it's got 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a big barn, and BEARS" as if bears were a fucking amenity.   

She was sweet, but quite crazy I'm sure.    The place they bought was only accessable by plane, so they bought a Cessna, and her husband was teaching her how to fly it.  

She showed me this video.  This is the house that they bought

I was hoping that he would jump on to tell me how big of a nuisance bears are. Obviously, he cooks all the time in his cabin but doesn't have a bear problem. OTOH, we haven't heard from him in awhile.
Bears are not an issue inside your house. But you have to be careful with trash.

You're welcome.

Little does she know that true status in Alaska belongs to those with multiple shit sticks.
