RuMR Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have an old whisperlite international. I'm looking to upgrade to a cartridge stove for a trip I am going on with my boy to Ceuse. We will be camping. Beta on stoves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassgowkiss Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Buy one there! You can't fly with a stove, they will yank your luggage out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcg Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 You can fly with a stove. You can't fly with fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kidd Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Similar stuff available there for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaredSilly Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Any screw in burner will work. Skip the Buet cartridges which once punctured must be consumed. I have this one which is super lite and works great. http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Backpacking-Stove-Reviews/Optimus-Crux There is no issue with flying with any burner - just leave the cartridges at home. I have also flown with a gas stove and bottles. Just make sure they are clean. The fuel you want in France is called "Essence C" and you buy it at a hardware store.

matt_warfield Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Stove aside, I hope you and Drew rip it up over there or at least have a good time. Look at the first part of Realization for little feller. Edited April 25, 2013 by matt_warfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltani Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 If not doing high altitude or cold weather camping then I like to use an alcohol stove in france. The fuel is available in any grocery or small epicerie in the cleaning section (L'alcool à brûler). Easy to find, super cheap, the stove is easy to fly with.

Hugh Conway Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The screwin canisters are pretty easy to find in france (nor really most any popular mountain destination in the world) and flying with a stove in checked bag isn't a problem at all so whatever the screwin stove of your persuasion is. On the small/light/cheap front a Pocket Rocket or a Snowpeak Gigapower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
