I have an OR Outhouse for long trips and it cn be a bit of a pig to put up, especially if it is windy. If we are in the Nebraska I sometimes cook in the porch. In the new Shadow 800, I pushed the boat out and bought the side canopy which gave a bit of shelter from the elements.
My tent is Cotton Canvas, 3.7m x 4.7m (internal) and I still would not cook in it, firstly for safety reasons, and second, don't want all those cooking smells and condensation lingering, even though it does have a designated cooking area with vented/mesh window, I usualy cook alfresco, but for the first time this season I have picked up a small Utility/Kitchen tent a Cabanon PN20 also Cotton Canvas.
It has just occured to me that I am supposed to be reducing the amount of kit we take not increasing it.....but its better to be safe. Bacon buttys in the rain..Perfect!'
