This is right. I have had the same experience as Shooter71 and occasionally over 14,000'.

When heating water for just myself, I use an Optimus Crux with a 32oz. Halulite pot made by GSI. It will heat about 24 oz. of water.

When heating water for a small group I use an MSR Pocket Rocket and an Olicamp heat exchange pot. It will heat a full quart.

The Olicamp pot is a little too big to fit properly on a Crux stove. Or maybe the stove is too small confused
