I tried to search for this topic but recieved a "no matches" response. I am currently trying to get a fire plow to work. I get lots of somke really fast but thats about it. No actual coals. Does anyone have tips to this technique? Thanks guys.

I haven't been able to try the Fire Plow yet. What kind of materials are you using though, I am familiar with what should work with a fire plow. I'm sure its like any other Fire by Friction method though, you just gotta find the technique, once you do you can do it over an over again no problem.

Thanks for the responses. I never heard of a Fire Piston (I' new at this) but it looks interesting. What I am trying to get to work is the Fire Plow. I have oak as the hard wood plow and pine as the soft base. Lost of smoke but no actual coals. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> More practice I guess.

I’ve read about fire plows, but never tried it myself. Aha! Here’s I found this article I was thinking of for you on WW’s webpage: The Samoan Fire Plow

One difference perhaps, in the Somoan fire plow and yours is that softwood is used for both the base (stave in the article) and the plow. I don't know what effect this will have but it may be worth a try.

Check out the Army survival manual. They have the Fire Plow method in it. I'll find a link.

sounds hard! I can get a ton of smoke with the bow but I have to work on my coal and coal "nest" the transfer and what to best transfer it into.
