Darrel and I have researched, and are continuing to research, the fire piston. Check out more fire piston history on my ‘Brief Fire Piston History’ page to learn more about the information that is currently available.

TINDERS THAT WORK IN FIRE PISTONS

A reliable fire piston will produce coals from a large variety of tinder. Darrel and I have studied the different types of tinder and have compiled the biggest list of tinder that work over a very wide range of climates and environments that can be used in your fire piston. I know that, like myself, you will want to know all the possible types of tinder that can by used in your fire piston that you can find in your climate and their reliability compared to the other tinder. Check out my ‘Tinder for your Fire Piston’ page where I list over a dozen tinder, with some identifying pictures, that can be used in the fire piston.

QUALITY & RELIABLITY

I can not only tell you first hand that these Fire Pistons are magnificently crafted but along with that, the quality, the service, the turn around time, and the tools fire starting reliability is unsurpassed. Each fire piston is hand crafted, custom fit and personally tested by Darrel (and me) before shipping to ensure that you only get the best of his workmanship and a tool that will be guaranteed reliable for a lifetime. Darrel does not manufacture fire pistons and his goal is not to make the most fire pistons in the world. Darrel’s number one goal is to provide the world with high quality primitive items that are reliable to use and beautiful enough to pass to the next generation with pride. What I like best is that even I can use them, and I’m a girl! And I know that if I can light Darrel's fire pistons, you can too. Check out my ‘Darrel’s Fire Piston’s Photo Gallery’ to see more examples of his diverse and unique fire pistons. And of course, check out our feedback.
