Anyone had any experience bringing Trangia stoves on airplanes? For those
of you unfamiliar with them, they are basically a small metal pot that
burns alcohol. The fuel canister looks like your typical MSR canister, but
it is plastic. I am curious as it uses alcohol and has no moving parts
weather this would be allowed. IMHO, this is a great stove for kayaking and
a lot of us here in the midwest use them. They aren't as hot as a white
gas/propane stove, but they are  hassle free (almost no setup time), can't
break and are completely silent.
