Unroll cotton ball, sprinkle fire ash on cotton ball. Start at one end and rool tight. Roll it back and fourth inbetween two flat boards and wallah.

Cotton dryer lint works great for this, too. Now that I work in a hotel, I was able to score a gallon zip lock back of lint. I have now added the lint and ashes in small baggies to all my fire making kits. Crazy how easy this technique is, isn't it?

I'll have to give that a try, so no fire in the ashes, just cold ashes ?

Just cold ash and lint. I had read about it a number of times and figured one would need to really put some elbow grease into it, but I was wrong. Couple of quick swipes and you got smoke!

The process works very well. Here is a video I made about 3 years ago about using chaga in a fire roll. Ash, rust scrapings or something like chaga will work. If you skip by the first 3 minutes of the video you will see the chaga part and if you skip to about the 5 minute mark you will see the fire roll. The first time I tried I was surprised at how well it worked.
Take care, Brian
