See any issues apart from bulk.

Well if running an OZ pig I would get a decent stove jack
My preference is the chimney near the center pole because it's moves the least there in the wind

But plan out how you will use the space before fitting the stove jack

While my tipi, liner and stove are a carry in weight I have used it a fair bit when hunting from the vehicle and it's very quick to set up.

A heavier tent or tipi with a bigger stove with more mass would be better if not wanted for carry in trips.
