From emeraldlake.com <http://emeraldlake.com/> :
I just called for you and the nice lady said they have plenty of canisters.
The Seiad Valley Store and Cafe  <http://users.sisqtel.net/rjones/>(44719 Hwy. 96, 530 496-3399) isn't the heart of town, it *is* the town, along with the neighboring Mid-River RV Park and post office. The store carries a small but significant amount of hardware for gear repairs, plus a variety of fuel and PCT-type trail staples such as ramen and Lipton's. Bear in mind that if you want to partake of the cafe's legendary pancake challenge -- five one-pound flapjacks in a stack about the size of a Douglas fir stump, a challenge met by only seven people in 18 years -- you better call ahead and double-check cafe hours -- 530 496-3340. As of mid-2004, the cafe was open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. In other words, if you roll into town after 4 p.m., plan on either grazing out of the store or firing up a cat stove. For people with more sense than to take the pancake challenge, the burgers and shakes are a good call at the cafe. The burgers, in particular, are downright cheap. (Two should hit the spot.) 
This is the last post I see from Nov 2014, I can’t see an update in Facebook. Hope this helps
