I'm wondering, do campfires at 9K feet have to be re-jetted to burn right? 😉😄 No, but it seemed the BS turbos all kicked in.

Also looks like those mountains have seen some rain; I'm glad to see the entire southwest isn't all dried up and brown. It stayed green from Safford to about the NM line - dried up towards Lordsburg and Deming, then greened a bit to Hatch. Mostly green from there home, thank God for good rains.

I'm wondering, do campfires at 9K feet have to be re-jetted to burn right? 😉😄 bruinruin - Kent brought a sophisticated multi-jetted campfire canister designed to increase air flow into the heart of the fire - am thinking it was made by Kenmore or Maytag - maybe Whirlpool. Very modern approach - more fire and lower smoke. It is in the pics. As for re-jetting, the Qjet carb on my primitive rig is jetted for normal altitude and fine tuned to about 3,000 ft. Has pretty good displacement, but once above 7k it started to feel lazy. At 9k the idle was simply lousy and I didn't want to get into that, so only started it twice - to charge the cabin battery. I could feel the smile when we got down the mountain. Almost everyone else had fuel-injected and sensor/computer controlled systems - ran as normal. Due to daily and typical SW seasonal rains, we had about zero danger of fire - nice green forest floor and surrounding us. I think you would enjoy one of these shindigs.

I've been all over the country, and I have to say the sothwest is one of my favorite places. After we left Quemado we drove down towards the Reserve area. We had dinner at at a small little place, best Mexican food I've ever eaten.

That little joint in Reserve still serves pretty good Mexican grub. C'mon back. NRA Member - Life, Benefactor, Patron
