I too worried about the effects of cooking in my Vermont L and some site owners who charged for two tents if you used a stand alone cooking tent. So I used this and dispite the "leakage" claim of one argos review, I found it works admirably even in very wet weather I have never had a wet stove. We had the full test in Cumbria last weekend and not a leak!!

following on form most advice on here, ives just bought the Kyham four pole canpoied windbreak, lets hope that solves it!!
We also use a windbreak with a canopy...I set up my cooker stand and table under it along with my cool boxes . You can cook your bacon in a morning whilst admiring the view and staying dry!! PLUS as it is a wind break you will never be charged extra for using it unlike expensive utility tents.
If your on a budget this is a great option .Lidl have been selling them for around £15.
It is by far my best buy so far as I love cooking outside!

When i was a child,myself and my family use to drive to a river a few miles up the road.on the river bank,was a very old derelict house,with no roof,doors windows etc,literally a shell.Anyway,one day,my mother brought along some of our camping equipment,stove etc,and decided to cook something on the river bank.Unfortunately,it got windy and the rain appeared.So,my mother hit on the idea of using the 4 walls of the derelict house as a wind break.It worked a treat,as the walls also stopped most of the drizzling rain from the direction it was coming from.
As a thought,you could try and have a look around the camp site and area nearby,to see if there are any large hedges etc that will block the wind and rain.To cook in a derelict building is great fun,and if you come across one,your family will love it i'm sure.we found it was well worth walking a few extra yards,for the fun of cooking in the derelict house.
