A Fire piston is a unique way to create an ember that relies on the heat generated when you rapidly compress air. It may take a few try\'s to get the technique down at first, but but becomes easier once you get the hang of it Steps: 1. Place char cloth on the tip of the piston. 2. Lube up the o ring (I used chap stick). 3. Place the piston inside the cylinder and quickly press it down. 4. Quickly pull the piston out to give oxygen to the ember, blow if needed.
