if you have to cook in the alcove

Bad idea. Aside from the label on all tents warning against stoves or other flames in tents (the material is flammable, after all), cooking in or near tents will get food odors into the tent fabric, which attracts critters (like bears). Yes, people do it all the time and get away with it. But I have witnessed accidents with stoves and candle lanterns in "open" vestibules, as well as inside tents.
