This FD I had reason to use it. However, I couldn't ignite it. It would sputter and refuse to burn. We were at 7400' (2260 m).
When we got back home it worked perfectly. So I guess that these butane torches aren't any good at high elevation?
Not sure what make you have, but I have a cheap little Radio Shack model
that I take from virtually sea level (600ft) to Breckenridge, CO
(9600ft) every winter and use quite a bit while I'm there. I've never
had any trouble with it, other than running out of butane. I bought a
new tip for mine not long ago and it seems to have more trouble
lightning than the original one. Other than that, though, it's been a
workhorse for me at all elevations.
