Glad to see the sight is back.

I am trying to work my way around a slight problem that I cant resolve from my end. I use my jetboil constantly over here and have 3 100gr cylinders left. The issue is getting replacements. Does anyone know who will ship them overseas? There are some pesky rules about sending compressed fuel via mail etc but there has to be someone who does this? Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Call REI and ask them. I would think they have to deal with this question all the time

REI said Mountain Gear and Mtn Gear said NO.

If denatured Alcohol or Heet is available to you, this stove might be a better choice:

I got a 20 min. burn time on 1oz of fuel, it can burn Esbit too. (Simmers well)

all my posts are disappearing!

Thrifty, US customs are pretty thorough. If they did find the canisters through inspection or xray it might get ugly. We cannot use Fedex or UPS to ship overseas to an APO address, Post Office only.
