Carback, it's not worth trying to save money by bringing your own stove across the international borders on flights...though as Canadians , we are aware how still strong the pound is..and euro is.
For instance, last year on a DOMESTIC flight between Vancouver and Toronto, they nearly confiscated my bottle of British Columbian wine that I cycled kms. to get it home from a winery. I planned it as a gift while visiting a family member in Ontario.
I didn't know the new rules that wine could only be in checked baggage, not carry-on baggage. So I frantically ran my carry-on luggage, stuffed wine bottle into luggage at the ticket stand and checked in my baggage. I made my flight by 5 min.
All of this..just for a DOMESTIC flight.

this might be a little late, but...
i have an MSR whisper-lite. I've flown with it as checked baggage both from Canada to the US, and within the US, no problem. I did completely empty the fuel cannister, and make sure that it was clean(ish) and well-wrapped.
This was in 2006.
good luck!
