How long does it take to boil water in this?

It would not boil water for me. Really lame. 13 minutes (until the tab was almost gone) the water only gets up to about 185 degrees. :(

Can you use inside a tent or would it burn a hole in the floor?

Using any stove in a tent poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning regardless of whether or not it would burn a hole in the floor!!! But yes, the bottom of the stove gets very hot and it probably would burn a hole in the floor, adding fumes from burning nylon to the carbon monoxide.

Can you use the stove to make small stick fires instead of using fuel cubes?

Yes you can..I've had this stove for two years and used it number of times. Though it was a learning curve and fuel attentive. 1st. You need a good coal base and a blow bellow. 2nd find dryden sticks about finger diameter and foot long. 3rd after coal base built up stick the sticks into opening all the way to the back. Stack the sticks no more than three high the sticks must overlap crisscrossing them allowing the fire to blaze each stick. 4th as sticks burn down keep pushing them inwards arranging them to not smother your flame. A side note: I have found finding a flat stone as high as the opening to rest on LEVEL makes adjustments of sticks less tedious.

will the stove portion fit inside the pot for convenient storage in my rucksack?

Yes, the pot is designed to store inside the pot. Works great, very small and light when packed. Comes with a small mesh bag to old it all together as well.
