I do not think weight is much of an issue here. My tarp is 8'x15' nylon weighs 5 lbs, for 2 people, it could be silnylon and less weight. You do not need canvas to have an inside stove. A 12 ounce chimney will let you be inside. My stove weighs 16 ounces, yours is probably a few ounces less.
I take that back in reading your post again weight of the gas is an issue so all I can say it's worth the extra freight to be inside in winter for cooking.
