I  havent read  all this thread  ,

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

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.
