Flying with Titanium Stove?

[timberlinehunter]

Has anyone had any problems flying commercially with a titanium stove for your hot tent? I am assuming it would be fine in checked luggage but figured I would ask to see if anyone has first hand experience. I have a late season hunt and I am debating about flying out to gain some more hunt time vs driving out.

I have no experience but can't imagine why it would be a problem. If you think it will be, send it UPS or USPS and pick it up when you get there. I did that years ago with backpacking gear just to make sure it was there when I got there instead of lost in the luggage clusterf..k the airlines run.

Wouldn't be a problem in your checked bag at all. And I don't know why it would be an issue in your carry on if you wanted to do that.

Thanks. Btw Brad, I just picked up your Absaroka tent and I am loving it. Looking forward to many great trips with it

I flew Delta with a titanium stove in my checked bag. No issues at all.

I prefer to take my titanium stove as an additional carry on. Stow it under the seat with me. Really not interested in having it crushed by some knucklehead. No had an issue yet.

If you have ever used a titanium stove pipe you would know that that damn thing is deadly sharp!! You could decapitate someone with those things.

You should be fine.

I’ve done Alaska airlines, Southwest Airlines, delta airlines, united airlines, and allegiant airlines with my stove in my pack in a water proof duffle bag. No issues yet.

I build them, flew across Canada then drove down to Montana with no issue.

I was planning to take mine in a locked double rifle case with gun, padded out with other gear. Mark from Exo does a good video on packing this way. Any reason not to do that? Well protected.

You can check it, or carry on with no issues. Safe travels!

Haven't done it myself - here is what TSA Says:

What Can I Bring? | Transportation Security Administration

The TSA "What Can I Bring?" page provides a comprehensive list of items that travelers can and cannot bring in carry-on and checked baggage. It includes guidelines on common items such as liquids, electronics, sporting equipment, and medical devices. The page also offers special instructions for...

Checked repeatedly. Zero issues but needs to be in hard case..i shudder to think what baggage handles would do to it in a duffle bag. The long screws to hold it together will get you hung up with tsa for carryon. Then toss then in trying to unroll the stove pipe. There would be blood flying everywhere.
