What is the highest altitude the set can be used at without malfunction?

Unsure of the highest. I live at 7000' and have not had any problems. My understanding is the previous altitude issues with plasmas has all but been eliminated.

Ours worked fine, it went very high, above our trees like 50' up just had to keep the throttle forward, you probably have a defective one. Just need to not crash land.

No! Altitude will have an effect on the air pressure, but going up or down an incline will not. The unit should be able to maintain a constant pressure.

I use my eTrex for sailing, and so I am not attuned to altitude; nonetheless, I don't recall seeing altitude figures on it. Sorry.

I can raise it well above 10 feet. My sticker is not accurate, but I knew it would not be when I set mine up.

I've heard about this before. The lighters are often manufactured to operate at a modest elevation above sea level. Around 8000 is where some start to fail because the amount of gas released is not calibrated for the reduced amount of oxygen at higher levels. You might also say that because there is less pressure, the gas expels slightly too quickly and blows itself out. A heavier mixture of gas would solve this. If you bought them directly from ZIPPO (through Amazon), and they're not working, then definitely your altitude may be contributing. If you can, venture to an area around you near 2500-3000 ft. and see if you still have the problem. I've heard about this before.

I have this unit and had the same concern when I read other reviews. For my camping uses, 7000 BTUs is more than sufficient for boiling water and all other cooking purposes at lower altitudes. It would probably not be adequate at altitudes above 1mi. Lower temperature conserves fuel and is less likely to cause accidental burns. Unit cools quickly after use for storage. I'm glad I bought this one.

Depends on how you set the legs....but the mounting plate can be as high as 60"....with the legs still being stable. If an instrument is then set on the mounting plate, the eye-piece elevation will vary (depending on the equipment)....but could be 68" above the ground.

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 have a nice thermometer and im able to dial in my temperature to 38.5. I'd assume it shouldn't be a problem to go higher.

I haven't flown with it personally... But we live at high altitudes and during the Pikes Peak Marathon, I have it at start at just over 6,000 feet and go up beyond 14,000 feet without problems and difficulty of the product being used. Really does work, BTW.

I have no idea. 4000 meters is more than 13,000 feet and 5,000 is more than 16,000. I have used mine as high as 10,000 feet (3048 meters) many times and it works very well.

They have a special coffee maker for high altitudes. This model shpuld work for 4,000 or more feet above sea level : BUNN BXBD Velocity Brew High Altitude 10-Cup Home Brewer, Black

No none of mine were. I live at 4000', when I lived in Albuquerque 6000'. Some stuff packaged at sea level and sealed well do 'puff up' at higher elevation because of air pressure being higher inside the container than outside. That being said, I would still be careful and ship it back for another.

Yes you will. The high altitude Bunn is for at least 4000 ft above sea level. Since your your located below that(I presume) you will need a standard model. Your coffee will not be hot enough because water boils at a much lower temp at high altitude so the high altitude model will not warm water as hot. Hope this helps.

I used a C-6 but fair warning this one is no joke on the altitude. I would recommend a B-4 on it if you want any hope of recovery or just stick to one of the A's.
