Also want to add that I think the Coleman 550B Exponent Multi-Fuel stove would be a great backpacking stove. It's smaller and lighter weight than the 533 while being every bit as tough and durable. Since kerosene and diesel are more common available fuels in other parts of the world, if you travel around the world, the Multi-Fuel Exponent would be worth having. Would also be great for emergency preparedness as well, especially with the gasoline and kerosene options.
These stoves are great. Walmart has the best prices on them. The one I've mainly used for the last 20 years is a 508A Model. The 533 Dual Fuel I bought back in '04. They might be a tad bit heavy for ultra-light extended backpacking trips, but for overnight camping, rafting, or fishing trips they're perfect and sturdy. Usually don't have to preheat the generator unless it's cold outside of about 25 deg F or lower. You can buy Fire Paste at places like REI to preheat the generator with.
Should be posting a new vid on coleman exponent 550b and the old coleman 502
