We used them as a "marshmallow roaster" at a birthday party. They worked perfectly, no off smell/taste.
The kids had a great time with it. Exactly as described.
Using this in the Inferno stove, it took about 7.5 minutes to boil 1 cup (8 oz.) of water, and about 12.5 minutes to boil 2 cups (16 oz.) of water with a new Sterno can (the 5.99 oz. you will actually get from this product listing). This is a bit longer than I’ve seen on YouTube videos (e.g., an Iridium 242 YouTube video review of the Inferno stove). I believe the stove was designed for 7 oz. sterno cans (2.25” tall on the web), but only the ~6 oz. cans (measured @ ~1.8” tall) are available now. So I either have to accept the slightly longer boil times, or think about making a heat-resistant spacer.
Note that above I state that I boiled water with this product. I did, and more than once. Others have as well. I know that this contradicts a popular 1-star review on this product. I do not know the source of what is stated as fact in that review. Combustion of the gel in this product generates sufficient heat to boil water. It may not do so as quickly as a kitchen stove, but it does get the job done.
