Cannister fuel is available in every trail town that has an outfitter as well as some hostels. I had no problem getting fuel 90% of the time. I carried a few ESBIT tabs as an emergency backup so never had a cold supper.
Cannisters are a bit problematic when temps get well below freezing (say 20-25 degrees). That issue can be solved by keeping it warm inside your jacket, sleeping bag, etc
