Go electric and you can cook inside in relative safety providing you don't have dogs and kids running amok.

Hi, I have been camping for thirty years and I have been on these boards long time too. I have looked at that tent and I think that, with care, you can cook in the front porch section. It is big enough to have your cooking stand well away from the sides, the rest of the tent has other doors so you can banish people/dogs etc and you can have that big front door open with all the vents up in order to diminish steam causing condensation through the tent.
Tarps are great, I use them a lot, because I use smaller tents that I can handle solo, but if I had a tent that size I would not use a tarp, I would use the porch. That is what I used to do when I did have a big tent. The safety issues are about ventilation, not having the heat source near the tent walls and having undisturbed space so pans etc are not going to get knocked off the stove.
