alcohol stove at altitude

I don't plan on doing to much cooking on the CT this summer, but I know I'll need to heat up some water. I've got a lot of experience with a supercat stove but none at altitude. Can those of you with experience using one give me any insight as to how well it burns at say 10k feet? I honestly have no idea.

I have used my etoh stove above 10K feet lots and it works fine other than it takes a while to cook but all stoves boil at a lower temp at higher altitude. Bringing a good wind screen and reflective screen for under the stove helps. Tony
