I cook cautiously in the tent if its raining , pan of water handy spatter guard (foil)for fatty stuff and a low flame and slower cook , keep a razor sharp knife handy to cut your way out of the back , just in case it may go wrong and make sure the base is very stable and level for your cooker , I use a piece of 6mm plywood on the groundsheet.that is cut to fit flat in the boot. Aslo secure flappy bits of the tent so they cant catch an accidental flame .
Yes its a risk , but its one i choose to carefully take ,with the above precautions

Exactly. And likewise. So not just me & the missus then.
I wouldn't recommend cooking in a tent if you've got kids or pets with you, but if you've got a healthy dollop of common sense, and have everything you need to hand so you don't leave it unattended then it's not a problem. Just make sure you have adequate ventilation and an exit route.
Whether you want the tent and contents to smell of whatever it is you've cooked (along with added condensation and fat spatters) or not is another thing.

i totally agree. Most of the time we cook in a canopy outside of the tent but we always take a folding dog crate in case we have to cook inside so we can keep our dogs out of the way, We all know it's risky business but sometimes it's inevitable. As said above, if you use your common sense it should be ok.
