Weight doesn't count, afloat. Pedaling it counts. I've taken similar advantage during our kayaking expeditions. I love cooking with a dutch oven, and that's one tool that is well suited to wood fire / coals cooking. I even have a small one (9 inch) that is backpackable. I won the first place prize for my pecan pie, best dessert, made in that little dutch oven. I love dessert.
But floating and cooking for nine is a considerably different situation than carrying and cooking for one. I still say stove, for this trip.
