Can one of these be vented through a window? And if so, I'm thinking a piece of sheet metal the size of the open window with the pipe going out the middle.

the short answer is yes, BUT IT WOULD NEVER MEET ANY KIND OF CODE!!! I have a wood stove in my old camping trailer installed just the way you said. We use it maybe 20 times a year in the evening but we never sleep over in the cold weather!!!! In other words I don't trust it,

you might do it as a temporary thing. but that stove will leak a lot of smoke. i like the water heater tho. looks good for an ice fishing hut.

A standard, code compliant woodstove installation has the chimney top located above the roof by certain dimensions. This is because woodstove chimneys will eventually produce some sparks, but if they come out of the chimney far enough away from anything they will burn out before they land on something that could ignite. Also you want the smoke far away from you, obviously. If your chimney was touching the sheet metal in the window, would it eventually heat that metal enough to cause the wood touching the metal to burn? Probably not, but maybe.
Code compliant woodstove installations cause enough fires due to bad joints or other problems, doing creative installations with woodstove chimneys is risky at best. It's costly and difficult to instal a proper chimney, but it buys you peace of mind.

Another very simple and effective way I have used for over 20 years is to crack a window closest to the stove, it doesn't take much, just use some common sense when doing it or better yet go around your place and check for infiltration, you would be amazed how much air comes in from cracks and seals.

Here is what I did and has worked out very nice. I did mine through the roof and instead of the wall or window like in your case. I can tell you it will heat up a small cabin but you will need to feed it more often. I have had no issues with getting to hot on outside walls or where it goes through the roof. I can put my hand on any part of the fire wall or ceiling when at full burn and not even close to being hot. It works pretty well.

Neb, what are you using for stovepipe there? I have a big cast stove for my 16x16 but I am afraid it will be too big. I have been looking at the Cabelas pack stoves but I am not sure how robust they are. For under $300 it might be worth a try though. Or I can try and find some plate steel and make one myself but steel costs a fortune up here.

I used muffler pipe. It was flex pipe and wrapped heavy foil. I was sure if it would leak. That hasn't been a problem but left it on any way. I'm at the shack today and had lunch. I fired her up and toasty warm. Mine is a 12x10 but it does the trick.
