The stoves mentioned below are lightweight & very packable.
Personally, having a glass panel on my stove is a MUST. Seeing the fire is incredibly pleasurable! Plus, it’s much easier to know when you need to stoke the fire. Another bonus is the natural light inside your tent.
That said, glass panels add extra weight to your stove & there is the possibility of them breaking. It really comes down to personal preference here.
