How will it work at 6,500 feet or more? Here in Colorado jet lighters seem to be hit or miss.

No idea. Im from the Puget Sound, so im pretty low elevation. Im sure it might work. My old Zippo worked in Illinois, and that was at about 5 or 7 thousand feet. Wish I could help out mor.

I have had excellent results from my hawker unit, It has extended our range by roughly 500 ft and probably much further. We get a full 5 bars on a 6 acre spread, hope this helps, good luck!

I really don't know, since I'm from Florida there ain't many ways to test that. But if you're planning on using this for a long hike, please take along more than just this lighter. It's a good backup but definitely not the most dependable thing.

300 feet is the most I have heard of. Maybe Amazon will allow you to return it if it doesn't pass your test?

Mike,I am in a unique position to answer your question at least from my own experience. I am at Columbine Cabins in Colorado and at 8700 feet elevation. I have not used it since I got here but needed that question answered for myself so I got it out and hooked it up. It works fine. As always it takes some time for the propane to go through the hose, more than the 30 seconds indicated in the instructions, but once ignited it turns on and stays on. This is a great heater I presently own one and will be purchasing another. Good luck Mike and have a great day.Jim

I've used it at over 300 feet. The distance is impressive. It works smoothly even at that distance.

Rob says his works fine at 9200 feet! If you do order, make sure the seller will bear all the costs of returning the stove if it doesn't work for you. As loyalamazoncustomer says, it's a bear to pack and return. I know, I did it!

Overall a good product but certainly will not work the distance advertised. I didn't do any exact experiments but 500 ft would be my estimate for reliable performance

We regularly use the heater at 5000 feet during the winter and it works great. Not sure what the maximum altitude is for the heater.

I live at 2600 feet and it flys great here. I have even attached my iPhone to it and recorded video. You can see the video on YouTube if you search for Ramble SkyCam. My guess is, with the lifting power to be able to fly with an iPhone 5 it will do just fine at Denver altitude.

We are at 7000 feet and it works great. One of the best investments we have made. The installation manual gives the proper pressure settings for your elevation. Hope this is helpful.

Some heaters have low oxygen sensors and cut out around 5,000 to 6,000 ft.This heater does not use an oxygen sensor and thus, is not altitude limited. So far, I have used mine at almost 10,000 ft. and it worked fine. You do need to keep a window or a vent cracked open (about 1 inch) when using it. If you don't, you will likely set off the RV's CO detector alarm.

I had mine at about 650 ft and it worked really good. I would suspect it would work at 800 if you had a clear view

The most that I have used this flashlight for was about 300 feet. It worked really well and I would think that it could go further.

I have 500-ft with a couple of trees in the way at about mid distance and it works great.

300 feet maybe, 500 feet no way. This distance would require a very powerful (read=expensive) spotlight.
