Also consider,some fuels burn hotter than others.

it will because the heat is concentrated to a smaller area. however you may need a wind shield to keep the heat on a breezy day

I have to admit those little sterno stoves put off a lot of heat, but I would have to see it to believe it that it can cook faster than a portable butane stove. Of course a lot of those butane stoves have a lot of metal to heat up before it can really start cooking, and those little sterno do not have that same problem so if it does cook faster that may be why.
