It's crucial to have a means of cooking and boiling water in the event of an emergency. If your kitchen stove is not functional, you can perform these tasks with a hobo stove.
A hobo stove is easy and extremely cheap to make, and virtually any fuel can be burned inside it (a candle, small dry twigs, alcohol, and so forth). Here is an excellent set of instructions for constructing one, from Prepare For Later. All that is needed is an rigid metal can.
Once your hobo stove is completed, you can store matches and some fuel inside (in ziplock bags). Since they are so cheap to make, you should make more than one of these "kits" to perform multiple cooking or heating tasks simultaneously.
You can even heat a small space with one of these stoves. Obviously, any flame used indoors should not be left unattended, and should be used well away from other flammable objects.
