I'm trying via a US dealer at the moment but if you could find out if the guys at Needlesports (website below) will mail to Canada (will give you the address) and how long it would take, that would be great. Have e-mailed this to you as well - best to maintain further correspondance via e-mail I'd say. http://www.needlesports.com/acatalog/Primus.html 1x 731770 (Service kit omnifuel) 1x 721460 (Fuel pump service kit) Plus 2x 'Omnifuel Flame Spreader' (specific to the omnifuel) Its possible that 731770 includes 1x a 'flame spreader' in which case only extra flame spreader is fine. Can't find part number for flame spreader but its available on the Needlesports website. Thanks Ed.

1x 731770 (Service kit omnifuel)
1x 721460 (Fuel pump service kit)
Plus 2x ‘Omnifuel Flame Spreader’ (specific to the omnifuel)

Its possible that 731770 includes 1x a ‘flame spreader’ in which case only extra flame spreader is fine. Can’t find part number for flame spreader but its available on the Needlesports website.

Do you need someone to send a flame spreader over to a Post Office over there? I think I follow. Do you need someone to send a flame spreader over to a Post Office over there?

Its a Primus Omnifuel and the part is a 'flame spreader' for about 2.99 (pounds)!. In the meantime I've been donated a back-up stove (thanks again Mike) which runs on gas so can get by but for long haul trips with no resupply (gas burns far quicker) I'll need to get hold of the part in question so that I can use liquid fuel which burns slower. At the moment resupply shouldn't be a problem for at least a few weeks but I'm looking into how to resupply the flame spreader for the omnifuel :) Hi Ed, thanks mate.

Even more amazing than the near-grizzly experience is the fact that you lost a bit of your stove. Project Manager? Is someone sending you a new piece?
