Co tent recommendations uk

[Jamesbond]

So I've tried twice and failed, the first time was my error in the burning times, this morning I was ready to try again for my third time but the tent I've got is obviously no good,
The last attempt it started setting fire to the floor where coals had spilled over,
This morning I left them cool after burning, but the bbq into the tent with no spillage, relatively calm winds, and closed the zippers, within about 10 minutes there were burning holes appearing in the door of the tent and so I opened the door and the same thing was happening with the floor.the bbq is on metal stillt type feet but still is burning the bottom of the tent.
Is there a better tent anyone can recommend ideally fire proof or direct me to where I'm going wrong. I'm getting so frustrated and depressed with trying.
I'd be so grateful for any advice.
Thanks in advance
Alan

If you're using a disposable grill or grill that sits close to the ground, you'll need to do the set-up on a cinder-block or multiple flat pieces of rock. You need to be able to shield the floor/walls from the heat.

I had similar worries and fears. The only thing I could think was getting a thick steel tray, put sand in it and put the bbq tray in the sand? Im not sure if it would do enough to disturb the heat though.
Anyhting that raises it up tall runs risk of being knocked over and burning you rather horrifically.
A lot of news reports say accidental deaths accour in those types of tents where half is just a orning/cover with no ground sheet and the other half is a enclosed tent and the smouldering coals are just put on the bare ground side with the middle door half or fully open

Yea, you definitely need to put something under that to raise it off the ground. @5417807 even had an idea of sand in a tray, even dirt would work since it would reduce the heat on the tent surfaces.

I've just ordered this hopefully it will stop any spillage and embers, and keep it high enough not to burn the floor.
If I transfer the coals after 20 minutes and close the lid I'm right in thinking if the vents are open it will still do the job but stop the fires?

I would still consider putting something underneath to reduce the heat from heating up the floor.

I think if you put the lid on it and leave the vents open, it would reduce the amount of CO needed. With charcoal, it doesn't send sparks like leaves or sticks, charcoal is just glowing embers like a campfire slowly dying down.

It's so windy here recently no it's the embers blowing ashes that keep starting the fires. My neighbours are away from home permanently at the moment perhaps I should try it inside
