The "flare up" problem is an issue for pressurized liquid-fuel stoves. And kind of classic actually- every old camper or soldier has a story about losing his eyebrows. It isn't for a propane or other gas-canister stove, though, unless the stove is malfunctioning magnificently. :)

Traditionally you cook in the tent vestibule, which is better ventilated and usually lacks a floor, rather than in the main compartment.

See the movie Better Off Dead for really ridiculous 80s ski attire. Hot Tub Time Machine isn't bad for this purpose either.
