Some time ago there was a discussion about transporting stoves on airlines.  The conclusion being that most traditional backpackers stoves are not allowed on commercial airplanes for safety reasons.  (Thank god Kaczensky (sp?) didn't have a modern stove.)

A couple of stoves were mentioned as possible alternatives.  Well, today I was flipping through a catalog my wife borrowed from a co-worker (thanks Julie).  They have a little stove designed to burn twigs that is cheap.  Check it out at :

and search on "Pocket Cooker" to get a picture and description.  (it should be the 8th item in the search results list)  Very small and it's hard to go wrong for $10. :)

They also have an Alcohol Stove that, IIRC, should be able to be taken on an airplane.
