The only time I had an issue was on Rabbit Ears Pass in Colorado which is listed as only slightly higher. I had a hard time keeping it lit until it warmed up a bit - then it ran fine. I want to permanently mount a Wave 3 heater and run a line to a bulk tank on the tongue, but the old Mr Buddy just keep ticking away so it's hard to spend money on something that only gets used a couple times a year. Maybe when I get a little closer to semi retiring and hit the road in the winter more it will be worth it?Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037759056061086485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703583432502029443.post-66196427506471445852017-12-09T16:51:08.758-08:002017-12-09T16:51:08.758-08:00Interesting.Interesting.Al Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097190974559622416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703583432502029443.post-17301990791227067952017-12-09T15:41:09.750-08:002017-12-09T15:41:09.750-08:00It probably has nothing to do with the oxygen cut-...It probably has nothing to do with the oxygen cut-off, but I've found that using a partial bottle of gas keeps the heater running at higher altitudes. I was at a shade less than 9000 feet last spring when it snowed on me. A little heat in the morning seemed like a good idea but the full bottle was blowing the pilot right off the tube and it wouldn't stay lit. I switched it out for the half-used bottle from my stove and it worked just fine.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960238893013776630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703583432502029443.post-40951524629378948362017-12-09T09:27:45.935-08:002017-12-09T09:27:45.935-08:00Or I could use my cookstove, as I did when I was c...Or I could use my cookstove, as I did when I was camped too high for the heater's 7,000' low-oxygen cut off.Al Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097190974559622416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703583432502029443.post-34943655654316267992017-12-09T07:56:29.023-08:002017-12-09T07:56:29.023-08:00A propane torch might be all you need and it is a ...A propane torch might be all you need and it is a lot more compact.
