A friend and I experimented with a pack on a shingle wheeled frame this past year. We took it on some trails nearby and it worked better than I might have expected.

Then I looked at some models that are for sale. They make a much better rig than we did. I think it's an idea with potential, but it's certainly a different way of approaching the problem and would take some getting used too.

I don't know about the "woodstove/chimney". I've read about the "Mailbox" or "Coffee Can" stove in a post here recently. Is that similar to what you're talking about?

I might have to make one of those for fun
