Cooking Under Your Shelter
I am curious of how you would cook in a shelter with a cannister stove. I have a tent that i would like to cook in but i am too scared of burning my tent down. Has anybody cooked under a vestibule? What is a safe distance you need to keep your stove away before melting your tent? NOTE: The remainder of this post can be read by logging in. For free PBF membership click here

I've cooked under vestibule that had ventilation at top, and lots of clearance room. I used MSR XGK NOTE: The remainder of this post can be read by logging in. For free PBF membership click here

Cooking and rodents
It's tempting to cook inside the tent when it's raining hard.

Good point ftapon. As trails and campsites get more use, the large and small rodents (and the ants) NOTE: The remainder of this post can be read by logging in. For free PBF membership click here
