well if there is a risk of burning your tent down, your to close to to the tent. If your cooking inside the tent, well you shouldn't.

i personally have one of most types of stoves, so i can take the best for the job with me. Small butaan/propaan burner in the summer, multifuel when it's cold and the solid fuel and alcohol for short trips.
