I do a whole sle of plane travel, to endure backpacking elsewhere in the U.S. or abroad.

I've used Esbits and snowy gas stoves, but have found that (a) I can't take the fuel happening the planer and (b) I mightiness give birth trouble buying the fuel locally.

Thusly my pursuit in alcohol stoves.

So may I ask some slow questions?

1. What kinds of fire arrange intoxicant stoves use? How easy it is to find?

2. Can you surpass airplane with the alcohol fuel? The empty containers?

3. Is an alcohol stove as "traversable" as I hope (based on repose of carrying/purchasing fuel)? Otherwise, I probably wouldn't bother with an inebriant stove…Lots of my packing trips are pretty overnight, and I've heard the Esbit is to a greater extent efficient for protracted trips.

I ask this because I'm thinking of getting a Caldera strobilus to make my Esbit more fire efficient…and am wondering if I should use the alcohol stove that comes with the Caldera retinal cone for travel.

Thanks!

You can't take the fuel (denatured alcohol) onto planes.
You can take the kitchen stove.
Fire quality can be variable at your destination.

How about upgrading the caldera cone to a Titanium Tri so you can burn Sir Henry Wood if you have problems obtaining clear fuel locally?

I simply flew yesterday with my alky stoves, reversive from ADZPCTKO.

1. HEET is *usually* the easist fuel to find at locations along the trail, (So much as gas stations) only IMHO, changed is the way to snuff it if you get a supply source.

2.You cannot fill fuel with you. Any container must not let fuel Oder at all!

3. I took squeeky clean cooking stove with Pine Tree State. I've been told that one with even a hint of fuel smell surgery if it appears used, alright may confiscated.

4. If you happen to spill even a small amount of HEET on your hands a day or ii prior to flying and happen to be the "lucky" one to receive exra screening at the aerodrome, the new hand swabbing procedures WILL induce completely kinds of excitement among the TSA multitude. Just sayin….

TSA allows a traveller to have uncomparable sealed bottle of drinking alcohol up to a maximum of 140 proof in a checked traveling bag. That will burn pretty bully in a belittled inebriant burner. Also, you are allowed to sway a normal BIC lighter on your person in the cabin (merely not in checked baggage).

Now, the trick is in determination the right feeding bottle of spirits. You require something every bit high Eastern Samoa come-at-able in proof so that it burns hot, but it can't be over the 140 proof limit. Thusly, that excludes 190 proof Everclear and 151 proof odd. On that point are galore about 80-100 proof, but relatively few that near the 140-proof limit. There are some Polish vodkas and such that may go around 125 proof, but they are difficult to find in stores. Also, many of those are sold only in a 750ml glass bottle. That may be a large quantity than what you wanted, and also the glass bottleful is gruelling and potentially breakable. When you get to your destination, you could transfer the alcohol into some light and thin backpacker-style plastic bottle.

When you are done with your alcohol burner, there power be a slight residue, but it will wash out. Also, if you have any excess unexpended over after backpacking, you can e'er drinkable it responsibly.

My intoxicant stove is the TiTri Caldera Cone.
When I travelled to the United States of America I had no problems with this set up.
Here in Australia we use Ethanol (sold American Samoa Mentholated Spirit in supermarkets/hardware stores) over in the US I purchased Crown Denatured Alcohol from REI.
Yellow Heet is the one most comment connected.
Whatsoever are bothered by the possible toxicity of Methanol, typically used in Denaturised Alcohol, I am not…
So , yes I think that the CC has you very well covered splashed with some fuels.Three if you vex the TiTri.

Not Deet…thanks Ben

Methinks if you induce to go through completely that trouble buying 140 substantiation alcohol and may have to settle on for lower — then why non just run to some drug store at your destination and nibble up a nursing bottle of 70% detrition alcohol for a couple of dollars instead? Some will burn — although neither will incinerate atomic number 3 clean equally denatured alcohol.

My foremost pick testament still cost to look for a Wally Worldwide or K Mart or Home Depot… for denaturised alcohol at your destination. Failing all that, then OK, 70% rubbing alcohol.

Franco:

You mean White-livered Heet?

Wow! I dismiss take sealed alcohol with me exclusive if it's in patterned baggage…and a bic lighter with Maine only into the cabin. How crazy and counterintuitive is that??

Where does one look up these restrictions/requirements for combustible stuff? I imagine they are TSA guidelines? Act up they apply to outside flights departing the US the same way they might use inside the United States of America?

Benjamin, Elizabeth I's point #2 indicated a desire to travel with the fuel. I was just explaining that option.

I am sure that nearly of you are already familiar with Pane Stoves, but thither is a great page about the fuels that burn in an intoxicant stove.

As declared, the best bet is to breakthrough something at your destination, rather than try to rainfly with it.

The denatured alcohol that is preferred is in the paint section of WalMart, etc.

Yes, if you do a search for TSA Prohibited, you will feel knocked out lots of rules and regulations. At first, they don't seem to score ideal sense, but past, it is a government agency. What execute you wait?

TSA rules utilize to all departures in the U.S. Then for a European difference returning to the U.S., the rules may constitute different.

"Benjamin, Elizabeth's point #2 indicated a desire to travel with the fuel. I was honorable explaining that option."

True that. I guess information technology was fair-and-square my way of suggesting to her that she might reasonable want to "bribe the block when she gets there" — if at all executable.
