If you have the right sleeping bag, the amount of heat generated from the stove isn't going to do much I don't think. And when you get up in the am, if you have a nice fire pit, you might still have hot coals to get a fire going quickly.
Where I hunt in Idaho, there is plenty of dry wood available even when it is raining, and I never carry a saw. We don't use saws on elk and we completely de-bone the hind quarters and usually bring out the entire skull along with the rack.
I'm pasting in an Alaska sheephunters list for your perusal. I haven't gone there, but this guy has been for years. I've been elking in Idaho since '92, and am always looking for more information.
