It's going to take more than a couple of hours to learn the pentool. It was not meant to be easy. I spent 3 semesters and im still learning Illustrator...and the pentool was used everyday, at least 2 hours a day.
For a 30 minute tutorial, look up this link.

If you actually learn and understand how the pentool works, it will be easier to create/trace your flames. This isn't something you learn in 2 hours, it is something that you will continuously practice at to get better. Yes, i use it everyday...sometimes over 10 hours straight.
