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

-----------------

The article that made me ask the question in the first place was by an
Australian with a Trangia.  He said he had had the foresight to empty and
througly clean the stove before going through Candian Customs (I had assumed
he had been stopped flying into Vancouver but because of Paddlewise
comments, now suspect it was on the way out).  I believe he was allowed to
take it on the plane because there were fume ordors.

I don't know if this is an Australian stove or not but I believe MSR imports
them and I know Campmor carries them.
