Re: [Paddlewise] Canadian Customs

There are commercially available alcohol stoves.
Alcohol is not a fossil fuel, but a synthetic fuel.
There are also the BBQ stoves, that use charcoal brickets. Those
brickets are made of partially burned wood, not fossil fuel.

Maybe the trick is to convince the customs personnel that the
fuel deposit of the stove is made to carry alcohol, not kerosene.

I guess they are concerned with the explosive potential of most
fossil fuels.  But then, I do not understand why they would allow
plutonium or uranium based stoves; unless they realize that such
stoves are one-time-use type, and that the world would no longer
exist after a single use. :-)
