On most of those irons there is a control to adjust how much air gets into the
mixture. On all that I have used you can change this to compinsate for
altitude.

That has nothing to do with flame from the stove. Water boils at a lower
temp at altitude, so you have to cook things longer in boiling water. At
7400 ft ASL, the boiling point of water is 198.5 F.

Most LP gas burners require some adjustment of the air at altitude. My
little Weber BBQ in the tent trailer was adjusted for 8,400', it doesn't
burn well at home at 1,800'

Not sure
This was exactly my experience on FD at a slightly higher altitude. I
had a Bernz-o-matic unit that worked fine at home before and after, so I
attributed it to the altitude.

That doesn't surprise me. I don't have experience with butane torches at
altitude, but I have eaten far too many freeze dried dinners that were crunchy
because, at altitude (8,500 ft. in my case),
