Quick smoke not animating the fire and the smoke I'm trying to generate smoke in Blender using the quick smoke effect but it was not working. What I had done was that I added a plane into my scene, went on 'objects'- 'quick effects'- selected the emitter and changed the flow type to Fire + Smoke and then when I hit play, I see the smoke appear but it is not moving upwards. I'm also wondering how can I make the smoke appear on a specific frame.

You can limit the simulation to a range of frames by setting the start and  end  frames under smoke cahe.
you need to save your project to use the smoke cache.
