Has anyone used the PyroPac Instant Heat Gel packs?  (example here

Indefinite shelf life, non-toxic, no shipping or storage restrictions, burns smokeless and odorless, etc.

How quickly does this boil say a quart of room temperature water?  What kind of stove have you used this in (it seems that this is important)?  There are some reviews out there but I was hoping for some ARFCOM firsthand experience on this one.

It looks like a perfect fuel for SHTF but I haven't seen many talking about it.  If it performs as advertised, it's not really that much more expensive than esbits when purchased in bulk.  I'll gladly pay a bit more not to smell the esbits.

Never tried it but it looks like Sterno in a tear open pack.
