Did you mean to write [k] there or do you actually use a palatal stop [c] in that word?

I have [tˢo̞ːk]; it also rhymes with ‘stork’ and ‘stalk’, which are both [sto̞ːk] for me.

How do you pronounce "comfortable"?
/ˈkʌmftərbəl/
... where /r/ may be realised as zero or as a slight modification (pharyngealisation?) of the vowel, but I'm confident it's phonemically present in this word. Also, /mf/ in post-stress position (as here) tends to have an intrusive [p], but I don't think I'd analyse there being a /p/ there.

I have an intrusive [p] in "hamster". I have often seem people misspell the word as "hampster".

I've seen that misspelling often enough that for a while, I was seriously confused about what the correct English spelling of the word is.

I have an intrusive [p] in "hamster". I have often seem people misspell the word as "hampster".
I have [p] in
hamster but that reflects an underlying /p/, as I pronounce
hams as [ˈhɛ̃ːə̯̃ms], i.e. without [p] or [b].
Edit: Corrected
hams to include a long vowel, reflecting underlying /z/.

I suck at IPA, but (when speaking English) it's basically as if I'd say "hi" to someone called "Drent".

I'm particularly wondering about how NAE-speakers pronounce the vowel in the first syllable.

Yep, for both: [ˈhəe̯ˌtʃʰɛ̝(ː)ʁˤ], [ˈhəe̯ˌsku(ː)ʊ̯].
