I spent about 90 minutes watching Forgotten Fumarole on May 25.  I don't have my notebook available at the moment, but the intervals were all within the 12-14 minute range.  Eruptions were mostly in the 5-8 foot range with a few higher bursts, maximum 10-12 feet.  It seemed that the stronger eruptions came after the longer intervals.  The eruptions lasted about 2 minutes and would sometimes have short pauses.  No water actually welled up in the vent, and none was expelled outside the immediate crater.
