High altitude cooking
We're going to Yellowstone/Grand Tetons this summer and I'm planning ( at least in my head). I know @ Fishing Bridge there are no outside fires allowed so that leaves out grilling. I've tried to cook...

OP here... I just knew I didn't have luck with crockpot before..and being from 600' elevation, CO, MT. & WY is high elevation for us.
For cooking purposes, many boxes of prepared dinners have instructions for "high altitude", which in many cases is anything over 4000 feet. As OP stated, they are at 600 ft...in that case, western Kansas would be "high altitude"!
We've cooked for a number of years using a crock pot. As others have stated, just make some adjustments to fine tune the cooking. We always use the low temp setting and are usually back at the trailer for the last hour or so, to check on the progress.
We've also used the one pan method, a la, hamburger or tuna helper type meals...of our own making. Chili is also a good one pot dinner and can be cooked inside on the stove or on an outside stove.
Do a Google search for "one pan meal" and you'll find a lot of suggestions.
