chimpac, I think that a wood stove with a chimney in winter is a completely different animal all together, and my answer changes when talking about this. Also, phat uses a wood stove and chimney in winter. I want to use a wood stove with a chimney, but have yet to make one. I know so little about it, and your pictures are really hard to decipher.

As far as a weight limit, I don't think there is one. If you are going to an area where you would bring a wood stove, then obviously lighter is better. But, if you are going to an area where you can't have a fire because of regulation, then no matter how light a wood stove is, you can't bring it anyways.
