If you cut one in half, I think 10 minutes is accurate. A whole one, approximately 15-20 minutes. They actually melt pretty fast.

This hurt like no other pain. And I am not new to peels. In fact, I fanned myself the whole time the peels was on. Burn burn burn! Maybe I did something wrong, but it hurt quite a bit.

About 90 seconds. I have never used over a "3" setting before it starts to burn the edges of anything you put in it. I have also found, that if you toast 2- 2 slice items back to back, it toasts darker on the second set of two slices....not good in my opinion. I use it every day, and this problem happens every time.

These aren't really meant to be lit with a lighter. But with a burner/stove top I would say 5-7 minutes.

Sternos- I buy mine from Walmart in the camping section, so they are easy to find.

None. All terrible. I stopped a week into it because the pressure against my collarbone was too intense. I was worried about forming a bruise.

Depends on temperature of water and if if your doing it indoors or outdoors and whether you use a windscreen or not. Alcohol stoves for backpacking burn a little hotter and with windscreen can boil 2 cups of water in 4-8 minutes. These Sterno canisters on youtube test took close to double that amount of time, about 20 minutes outdoors. Better for simmering or warming trays. Keeps coffee warm with out it boiling the pot dry camping. Not bad for scrambling eggs. I use a Fancy Feest alcohol stove to get thing boiling and hot in about 6 minutes then move it to the sterno stove to keep it warm.

Definitely. You can get something burning in a second. I know 'cause I tried it and then wished I hadn't shown my little son. It ended up ok--he focused it on his foot and never tried it again.

About 30 mins. I would not recommend this product. I bought one for use after a horrible car accident. I had it for 2 days & the pad busted, leaving white residue all over my clothes & my couch. I was sent a replacement that lasted a week. I ended up getting one through my orthopedic doctor. No problems with it.

Yes. We usually do this to bring it up to temperature and use the sterno heat to maintain it afterward.

Usually 20 minutes but I have noticed the heat intensifies slighty when used numerous times in a row. That's a good thing :D

I haven't timed it but I would say they burn at full power for about 90 min, long enough to cook one full meal. I used it to deep fat fry enough fish to feed 6 men on my last camping trip and I had enough fuel left the next morning to almost finish a big breakfast of coffee, bacon, sausage & eggs. I ended up using a second can for about 5-10 min, but I just popped it back out when done and it's stored and ready for my next trip. Unless I'm grilling this is the only stove that I use.

Well the package states that it burns at 1300F, burns well at high altitude, that depending on conditions one large cube will bring 1 pint of water to a boil in 8 minutes (and it recommends using an Esbit burner), and that one large cube burns for approximately 12 minutes. I bought them as a backup for survival but have only had the opportunity to get the fire going in the fireplace on three separate occasions now and they work beautifully.

I purchased 5 of the burners. I used them outside the first time so no issues. The second time we used two of them at the kitchen table and they smoked just a little bit but not much of a smell. The third time we used them in an office so the space was larger however we didn't have the burning alcohol smell. We smelled the marshmellows! We only put about 1/4 full of sterno in each unit so I don't know if that helped or not. Each time I put a little less sterno in the Hibachi and it smoked less and flamed less.

I have looked in the manual and found this warningDANGER BurnsWater temperatures over 125 °F (52 °C)can cause severeburns instantly or death from scaldingYou should call Stiebel's technical service line 800-582-8423 and ask them, they are very helpful with questions.Safari249

I have never timed it but, I would guess not more than 5 minutes or so. Of course it depends on the amount of water and how high you set your burner.
