I just got my first "wall" tent if you can call it that. It's one of those kodiak flex bows. I'm gonna have a stove jack put in and I just ordered a stove.
There is a floor to the tent but I thought of getting a chunk of carpet or astroturf cut to size.
Door mats are always nice to. And a comfy rug at your cot.
Clothes drying racks are great if using a stove.
A little cooking grate to set your pots/pans on the stove. Warming up slices of theringer/summer sausage on the stove with some cheese and crackers are a great snack.

Never cook inside of your tent because everything that is in it will smell like what you cooked.
Dig a trench around your tent to keep rain water from coming inside.

My tent has a snap in floor. I wanted to protect it from sparks out front of stove.
Looked at several options and decided on a flexible semi ridge mat for under you BQ.
This one is spark resistant and about 3 ft square. Figure to just load it flat in bed of my truck. Has a hole for a handle.
Another thing I came up with. I am going to set the stove up in the tent at home on the mat. Once everything is located as it should me. I am going to mark the location of the mat on the tent floor with a sharpie. Also mark the locTion of stove legs on mat.
That should speed upset up in camp.

Yeah my plan is to cook outside or in the group camps we have a cook shack.
I have never trenches around a tent mainly because I always use a rain fly that goes out away from the tent.
I made a tarp rain fly for my new tent with stove pipe cut out . It hangs 12 inches on back 6 ft on front. And 16 inches of each side.
Many guys don't use the tarp. I like it because it has always kept my tents cleaner and dry inside. It also in heavy rain channels water out away from tent sides.
I am confident my new tent is water proof because I hosed it down good and the water beaded and ran off. The fly just add more protection.
I also hang my fly differnt than most. It only May touch the ridge other wise it is 12 inches above the canvas. Allows good air flow and lets canvas breath.

When I cut out my tarp for stove flap I lined it on all sides with this heat duck tape.
Figured it would ad extra strength.
I also added a flap of heavy vinyl to cover it if not using stove.(note shown)
