I really like the clam screen tent for its easy setup. But with every thing there is give and take. Prior I had a 12x12 easyup. Setup was all but easy. Wife could help pull it apart but I needed to raise the roof as the sides where stiff. The thing was also heavy. But it was very ridged and could hang things off the top sides like towels and a roll up pantry. I could attach screens but never bought them. The clam screen tent uses a hub on each panel. When you pull out each side, the poles inside create outward force which keeps it up. Once all sides are open, you go inside and push the hub up and your done. The poles are fiberglass type poles so you can't hang anything to heavy. The screen is a very tight woven mesh. You can have wind outside and feel almost nothing inside. As for cooking inside, shouldn't be an issue as long as you don't create a lot of smoke. The door measures 5'5" tall by 5 wide till the mid section from there it starts to decrease quickly. This only has one side access, I do wish it had a door on each side or a window for cross ventalation, but that would make the structure less sturdy I guess. I plan on buying the panels soon. I will give a review when I do.
