Thanks for the replies. I did some further checking with the carrier I am using (Alaska Air). The website FAQ seems pretty clear in implying that empty, clean non-propane fuel bottles and empty, clean, no reservoir stoves continue to be ok in checked bags. I also called the Alaska Air info line and discussed this issue with a live representative. She, too, confirmed that such items should be acceptable in checked baggage. The rep mentioned that it is possible some airports have more stringent standards that could influence the way the guidelines are applied, and when I told her I was flying out of O'Hare, she kind of groaned. So I will be the guinea pig and report back at least on that particular carrier and airport.
