So, if we are going to spend any time above 7,000 feet, do we need to change the regulator in our range?

No just adjust the air so you have a blue flame not a yellow flame
Or just go all Electric like I did with my new Eagle. :D
7000 is no big deal,, I live at 6000 and go to 9000 often with no problems.>>>Dan
Gary does that mean electric like a phone and jimmy johns ;D
Now I wonder where I even put that water column tester its only been 10?12 years
good day there

Scott if you are going from sea level or about the altitude will mess with all your heads and bodies. Eat Spinach the vitamin A helps you adjust to it. Our son would actually pass out at times from it. I lived just below Pikes Peak for 10 years and it took almost 3 months after moving there to get used to it.

Dave, I'm comfy with high altitude. I love snowboarding the backside of copper mountain. No lifts to take you there, you take a snowcat and then hike up the last bit and peak out around 15,000 feet. Only a few dozen guys up there doing it. Fun, you can make your own tracks in the snow. Takes 40 minutes to get down the mountain back to the lifts. I took an aspirin every day for the headache and that was about it. Not sure if my oven or stove will soot up tho

We have had our Bigfoot camper up to 16,400 feet and there was no problem cooking with the normal gas stove. Needed a pressure cooker though and the coffee wasn't too hot.
Refrigerator wasn't so keen to light though and the propane generator would only start if I held the governor linkage half way to get the mixture right for initial ignition. Once it warmed up for a few seconds it ran OK.
Only thing that really ran out of puff was me but we were only there for a short time
Thanks tony. Ok, well, I guess worst case scenario is we will see how it does when we are there :)

Scott years ago when I was a lot younger we Went up to Whistler mountain Canada and got dropped off by Helicopter and ski down hill all day long two times. It was awesome. Use to ski Breckenridge, Heavenly, Squaw, MT rose etc. We live 1.6 hours from all the California and Nevada ones. Stopped skiing when back started acting up. I say i can still do it but the wife says, No!.... :'(

I have a set of undrilled Rossi's from about 1984 I'll sell you.
Scott, we regularly camp in WY at about 9500 feet an have never had a problem with the stove in the bus, or the camp stove.
Good to know Craig.

I think the house types do need adjusting ours in Idaho they had to change the orifices to get rid of the yellow flame and stink,your manual should tell you
Da wife says being we lived at high altitude in Colorado for 10 years she had to adjust cooking times for things especially baking and cut down on some things that have yeast or baking soda in the process.
