Hey Zach, I'm not sure what could be going on. Could you post a screenshot of your render and material nodes for the domain? I tried replicating by opening a new file, adding quick effects for fire and smoke, and it shows up in the render right away.

I figured it out. I'm not sure what was causing it, but for some reason when I switched from smoke to fire the nodes wouldn't change. Maybe a bug in the version I had? Or just a glitch. Anyway, I updated to the latest version, then deleted the sim, and add a new one. It's all working perfect now! Thanks!
