Dave, 

Whether or not you are allowed to take the stoves and fuel containers on
a plane depends on the individual airlines, and perhaps gate agents,
interpretation of the federal regulations regarding hazardous substances
on passenger planes.

The bottom line on this issue, is that the captain of the airplane is,
like the sea captains of old, law unto himself.  Whether or not that
should be so would make an interesting debate, however, I doubt we will
settle the debate and get the rules changed in time for you to take the
stoves and bottles on a plane if the airline does not want to let you do
so.

FWIW the DOT regs on hazardous substances carried on passenger planes
are available on the net.
