We just moved to a high altitude area of the country and are having some problem in lighting of our egg. Any suggestion/tips????
Thank you.

    MARIE,
    How high are you? (sorry, it was just too easy...) I'm in Denver, CO, at 5280 ft., light regularly and reliably with MAPP. I'm used to seeing all kinds of cookers fire up at 9000 feet with MAPP, propane, weber cubes, starter fluid...
    I'd think if there's enough oxygen to breathe there's plenty to burn, so your problem lies outside tools and techniques. Check the alignment of your firebox.[p]Ken
