flying with stove

[newfsmith]

Pre 9/11 we have checked our camping stove without problems, but not since. For this summer's trip we will be UPS'ing it to friends ahead of time. Maybe you should consider the soda can stove for your travels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverage-can_stove just re-cycle at the end of each leg of your trip.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm flying from Canada to the U.K., if that matters.

That's what I'd recommend. I use one of those for backpacking trips since it's lightweight and there are no moving parts to break. It only boils water though, no simmering control, so depending on what you're planning on cooking it may or may not work (my backpacking meals consist of "just add boiling water" kinds of things that cook quickly, so that isn't a problem). I would even think it would be OK to fly with since it doesn't get any fuel residue anyway since all the alcohol burns off cleanly. And if not, like newfsmith said, you can always recycle it.
