This question keeps haunting me and no matter how or what I google I can't find the answer.  I am at 1,390 feet....do I use 15 lbs?  Other people that I read about in Kansas use 10 lbs.

 

Edited to add that I used 15 lbs to be safe.   

 

AH!  Yes,  above 1000 feet sea level, the pressure needs to be increased, but how much depends on the type of canner you have.  If its a dial-gauge canner - which is what I have, then you increase to 15 pounds; but if it is a weighted gauge canner then 11 pounds. The time stays the same, regardless.  

 

I hope you have great success with it!  Can't wait to hear how it went!!! =)
