yep, I sewed a nylon cover that attached with Velcro. Rather than tabs, I ran a strip along the whole perimeter. Got it done just in time to use last fall. Been meaning to take the vent cover that I cut off and sew it into an exterior cover for the stovejack when not in use.
By using the rear vent for the stovejack I lost some ventilation, but I don't expect to use this teepee much in warm weather without the stove.
