  • Hey i used willow and i got bunch of smoke going but i just couldnt get that coal. Have u ever tried willow?

  • @Hunter1000100 Hi Hunter, Willow should work just fine. What color powder are you getting. If the powder is brown. You may need more downward pressure, or the wood may not be dry enough.

  • @tsnakes1 Well an hour after i wrote a comment for u i went at it again to try to get a coal. And by some mirracle... I GOT IT!!! Wow!!! I was sooo exited!!! thx for your help!!! How many times can u use the same hole?
