I was a backpacker before...I picked up at a yard sale, as a backup, a vintage Svea 123

Only guys who tour on /2's use the Svea. We used to call it the "Incendiary Device".

...a reasonably priced /2?
Depending on the trip. I use either the Jetboil or a ZZStove by Sierra. The ZZ uses sticks for fuel and an AA battery for the blower. With burning wood, I have no trouble scavenging for fuel and also get the serenity that comes along with building the fire.

Riding to the Rally in July, I'll be packing the Jetboil. Already stocked up on fuel and a coffee press.
I just picked up a Jetboil today at REI. Since I will only be boiling water for a freeze-dried meal or two, It will work fine for me. Tried it out tonight for first time. Heated two cups of water to boiling in about 2 1/2 minutes.
I still have not fired up my stove. Who knows, it may go boom.
