It's chilly here in southern South Carolina.  40F/4C right now and windy
so it feels colder.  It won't get much warmer than that today.

I'll be making a large pot of 15 Bean Soup (Hurst's HamBeens) using
diced ham (as opposed to ham hocks, sausage or a ham bone).  I'm using
the crock pot/slow cooker for this.

I've yet to ever make any sort of beans in the crockpot.

  if the crockpot doesn't get hot enough you could be
getting more toxins than you should.  certain ones in
some kinds of beans (red beans, but some others too)
make it important enough to make sure they get a good
boil.  at higher elevations this may be a significant
challenge.

 
Modern crockpots get pretty hot. 

  Do they boil?

   Red kidney beans need to be boiled for 10 minutes to
destroy toxins..

  "Slow cookers should not be used to cook the beans or
dishes that contain them. Studies of casseroles cooked in
slow cookers revealed that the food only reached internal
temperatures of 75 degrees C (167 degrees F) or less."
