Mass heat storage and lightness for portability are simply not compatible. You can have one or the other. The only reasonable possibility might be water as a storage medium, if you are able to dump it for travel and refill when you stop. And putting a thin layer of noncombustible material over wood will not protect it from long-term heat damage, including eventual lowering of the combustion point so the wood burns at what would seem to be a safe temperature.
