Still not legal AFAIK. However, it does make the homebuilt alcohol stove attractive. You can pack most of the parts for a simple stove and assemble it at the destination (or make it there completely - some only need a snip here and a snap there). When you're done, remove the fiberglass (or whatever) stuffing and toss the rest into the recycling bin. That way you're never travelling with a stove that is used and hence forbidden on the aircraft. > You could just keep the fuel in any plastic > bottle or fill an old Jack Daniels bottle or something. > > Just hope they don't ask you at the gate to "prove" that's really a > bottle of Stoli in your pack! If you're crossing a border, watch that it doesn't put you over your duty free limit! :-) Stove alcohol is readily available in many areas, so carrying it along may be a low priority. If you splurge on plain drinking ethanol (assuming the local supply is cheap), you don't even have to toss it when you're finished your trip - just share it with your paddling buddies before boarding!
