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...

Not trying to belittle your post, but I don't understand. The altitude at Teton Village is roughly 6300' according to Google Earth. That hardly qualifies as high altitude in my experience since we live at 8200' in Colorado and have for 25 years. The only issue we have is baking. You always use less fluid and more flour. We routinely camp at 10000' using crock pots, grilling etc. with no issues. Water does boil at a lower temperature and that difference is noticeable when approaching 10K feet.
Couldn't agree more - we live at 6,000 ft in Colorado,and have no issues cooking anything and use crockpot all the time, both at home and when in the higher mountain areas. We often have a crockpot running while travelling - using an inverter - just leave the crockpot in the sink. We also use Dutch Oven in the camfile at times - make some great peach cobbler! :)
We also have an electric pressure cooker which is far quicker and easier to use than one that would sit on the stove top.
