Here's a video on the Bongo from Tinny, the owner of Mini Bull Designs, the maker of the Bongo.


Looks like a decent stove. He says you get a 10 minute burn on 1/2 fl. oz. of alcohol. That's pretty dang good if true.

The one thing that might be bad is how do you regulate how much fuel you're using? With an open cup style of burner, like a Trangia for example, you can use a little measuring cup to mete out your fuel. With the Bongo, how do you know how much fuel you're using? It doesn't look like you can reclaim fuel from the burner once dispensed.

Doesn't look like the stove for me, although I salute the wonderfully inventive Tinny.
