    I've had experience using a Bongo stove coupled with a beer can pot in the field.
    My at home bench tests could achieve a 2 cup boil, around 7-8 mins, using less than .5 oz of alc. However, when i took it into the field, where the weather was around 30F degrees and windy, my boil took around 10 mins, and fuel consumption was closer to 3/4 an oz. Elevation was 3000ft. Still highly efficient in my book.
    However, it is not a perfect stove system. When using the remote fuel system, you have to make sure that its level with the stove itself…which can be tricky when youre outside trying to cook in dirt/rocks etc. If its higher than the stove, then itll pump out more fuel than it can burn properly. Also, experiment with a windscreen setup at home. With this stove, efficiency is greatly dependent on a properly setup windscreen. I also use the HN bongo, with a squeeze bottle ( as opposed to the remote fuel system ) Its more user-friendly IMHO

    Simon:

    Which screen were you planning on using….the Ti-Tri or that interesting custom titanium screen we made for you? Let us know when you get it…..would really like to see pictures of it in action.

    Rand :-)

    I was thinking that it would work inside my titanium cone,just an alternative to the caldera stove.The custom screen is for use with either an MSR white gas,Primus remote canister or a whitebox alchohol stove(used with an MSR 1.5ltr pot).I will send pics of it all action.

    I've done about 35-40 burns with the Evernew ti stove over the past 3 weeks with various cookpots, in a number of configurations (potstand – no potstand, 16oz- 32oz water, etc), as I am about a week overdue on a promised video review. I hope to wrap up the taping today, with another day or two for editing. I'll post here when I'm done.

    The more I use this stove, the more I like it. Under optimal conditions (my workshop – 60degree temp.)The stove primes in 30 seconds, will take 16 oz cold tap water to a rolling boil in 6:30, and burns out between 9:30-10:30. Outside (36 degrees, light wind)I got a prime in 40 seconds, and a rolling boil at 7 minutes. These were done with a homemade potstand (the Evernew stand isn't available yet)and a 1.3L Evernew UL series titanium cookpot.

    Apparently the product is ready, but they are waiting for packaging. I'm told that the kit will be ready around the end of February or the beginning of March.

    I apologize 1) for the delays in getting a video out (I have some tech issues with my new HD setup), and 2) for the low quality video (shot on my Olympus Stylus 770SW, due to #1). I didn't want to wait any longer so I just put this together. Evernew Titanium Alcohol Stove Review
