[pct-l] stoves?

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

If the stove is burning weakly you MAY be able to use water to put it  
out. If it is burning strongly, or has decided to go off like a roman  
candle, I can offer my personal experience that water only makes it  
worse. Probably the best option is to snuff it with your empty pot,  
but if your pot is full of tasty food, or the stove is resting on a  
small rock or irregular surface, this isn't likely to be a viable  
option.
