The Fire Plough utilizes a harder drill to "sand" off particles of the hearth board. These particles ignite as the temperature is increased through friction.

Step 1: Prep
Create a groove in your hearth board with a rock or knife. Place ember pan at the end of the hearth board and groove.

Step 2: Rub-A-Dub
Place the tip of the drill into the groove. Keeping downward pressure, plough or push the drill back and forth along the groove.

Step 3: Coax the Flame
Particles of the hearth board will "sand" off as the drill is moved back and forth within the groove. These particles will ignite as the temperature rises.
