Fire Roll, Are Hardwood Ashes More Reactive Than Softwood Ashes? The Clear Winner Of Red Oak vs Pine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- For years I have wondered if hardwood ashes were more reactive in the Fire Roll than softwood ashes. I've always kind of thought that they were. Well, when I found out that hardwood ashes have 10 times the amount of lye in them that softwoods ashes have, I wanted to try this Fire Roll aka Rudiger Roll experiment. Now, you might think that I'm saying lye will fire roll. LOL! I don't know, but I bet it will. I'm just not going to be the one that tries it out and possibly breaths in all those caustic fumes! The chemical name is Potassium Hydroxide, KOH.

First like and first comment haha!
I've learned quite a bit watching your videos! Thanks for taking the time and making them!
Used hand warmers work to fire roll just as good as hardwood ashes would you do a video on that ?.
No. Boggycreekbeast has already done it.
Thank you Dave for sharing, great video.
I made my first fire roll using diatomaceous earth, which is primarily silica with no strong bases (ie no Potassium Hydroxide, or anything like it). It worked just as well as the later versions I made using either hard and softwood ashes.
Ashes, rust, diatomacious earth, etc, are all abrasive. The abrasive properties of wood ash will vary based on species and growing conditions. The % caustics in the ash could make a difference, but so could any of the other uncontrolled variables here.
Friction alone may ignite the cotton but the other chemical reactions brings the intensity to ignite tinder more easily.
very nice demo Mr. David.. This is one to keep in mind for sure....:)
Good experiment. Thanx for the info. Appreciate your channel.
What a stellar find mate! I have always used hardwood ash as we don't often burn soft wood here in OZ. I didn't realise I had it easy. I'm off to start practicing with soft wood as well as the no ash method.
Thanks for sharing this David. I have found many of your clips very helpful and informative.
All the best from the now much colder Australia,
Ben
I've never gotten no ash/no filler to work but others have. Save yourself a LOT of unnecessary fails and wasted energy... visit my fire roll playlist.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Will do mate! it was already on the list for when I had a free moment. Thanks again for all the youtube clips.
Love your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
Just when I thought my fire roll ashes of mixed woods were great....I find out it can get even better!! An’ now with a knife of all things! Thanks for the new flick!
Another great video. Hardwood ashes are king!
As a picture framer, I use Rottenstone quite a bit customizing frames, etc. It works great as an alternative to wood ash that I get out of my wood stove at home.
Didn't know. Thanks!
The paper like base of palm fronds shreds up nicely, that's my go-to birdnest matetial in AZ.
another great video. i will be trying dogbane fibers once spring arrives in new york. thanks for your amazing videos Dave!
Very nice video my friend. Thank you very much for the help. Love and respect from Greece.
Love and respect back at you.
Love your channel. I am also a friction fire addict lol. I was wondering about the difference between soft & hardwood ashes. I don’t have a lot of fire roll experience yet. Thank you for sharing I appreciate it!
There's more potassium carbonate in hardwoods... is my guess.
We learned Something New Everyday! Thank You, David! Also at 0:30, I notice the grass is greener and healthy under your work table. Would that be from the wood ashes,?
Don't know. I do scatter ashes on the thinly grassed areas though.
Awsome,thanks.
Superb video as always David.. If I may ask.. Do you think the ashes from uncharred PUNKWOOD would work in the fire roll.. I think you would need to burn down a hefty sized piece of PUNKWOOD.. Interesting??
Yes, easily.
Can you use cotton fabric for fire rolls?
Yes. See my fire roll playlist.
Are there fibers that you can find in the field that could work instead of cotton? Cattail or milkweed fluff?
Yes... not cattail....yes Milkweed fiber not fluff. Please watch my fire roll playlist.
How can I find a Ferro rod? Prise?
Amazon, bayite ferro rods.
to me it seems like more ashes come from burning barky firewood
Would hair from a hair brush work? When my wife cleans out her hairbrush there is a pretty significant hair ball removed. Looks a lot like the yucca fiber from the other video
No. No. Please watch my fire roll playlist.
