Range jacks are a necessary tent device that conserve lives by securely prolonging a cooktop pipe right into the camping tent without the demand to creep right into a tight space and danger burns.

A basic steel camping cookware pipeline stove jack would be a much better alternative if it could be reliably glued, or attached, to the outdoor tents textile. A sheet of silicon rubber gasket with an opening cut in it might work well for this function, yet it's tough to obtain such a thing glued dependably to the fabric of the tent.
A DIY alternative is to use a thin sheet of RTV silicone rubber for the oven jack and an item of tight cotton for the perimeter, like this. The cotton offers a good lateral support of the range pipe in wind storms while the silicone rubber stretches and is soft enough to stuff-pack quickly in backpacks.
