Keep your good stoves for yourselves. And if a doctor needs boiling water for something, by all means, help him out.

But keep a goodly stash of suitable empty tin cans on hand, and give a neighborhood class on how to build hobo stoves.

If people aren't keeping up with what the economy is doing, or live in a probable disaster area (practically anywhere) and aren't making any effort to do some preemptive disaster preparation, they shouldn't expect to have access to someone else's top-flight stove (and their fuel).
