I have used them off and on for years for grilling but they do put off a chemical smell along with some black smoke when first lit. So I start them on the concrete with a bic lighter and then put the chimney over it. I also keep a couple in my emergency kit that i carry when riding my dirtbike in remote parts of the desert. I read somewhere that they will burn even when wet.
However I wouldn't use them in a stickburner due to fear of leaving a chemical residue on the walls of the cooking chamber. I'd stick with the weedburner for that...
