Welcome.  Need data, have you done much cooking with pellets at appx sea level?  If so....

For me, it begs the question...are there adjustments at that altitude?

Not as high up as Shortstop, ~ 6000 feet for me, but I don't have to do any adjustments

Hey Bentley - On the PG500 I typically use LHT 15 for any overnights to be sure it stays lit since there is less air for combustion.  For daytime such as ribs that are on now, LHT of 10 works great unless you want to level out the swings.  On the GMG DB not much adjustment.  I would speculate pellet usage is about the same from reading sea level comments.  Anything specific you have questions about?

Where might one be if they were at 8000 ft. At one time I worked in Steamboat. I think that's even higher.
