Can anyone help me with quick smoke? I am still very new to blender and I am confused on how I can key frame quick smoke to start at a certain frame with the explosion I have set up.

As far as i know, smoke simulations do not require keyframes. Watch this video for explosions. http://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A2KLqIHFlUJUfTMAUAP7w8QF;_ylu=X3oDMTB2ZjRyaHJ1BHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdmlkBHZ0aWQDVjE4MARncG9zAzI-?p=youtube+explosion+blender&vid=fe7633565ff6e91b9b5fa551f7056e8f&l=38%3A32&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DVN.608030798067600613%26pid%3D15.1&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmtSbZtPO_2w&tit=How+to+Create+an+%3Cb%3EExplosion+%3C%2Fb%3Ein+%3Cb%3EBlender%3C%2Fb%3E&c=1&sigr=11a1ecb2a&sigt=11jjiag8a&age=0&vm=r&tt=b – ruckus Oct 18 '14 at 16:30

If you are using the mesh as the flow source, then animate the Density of the Flow object.
Hover over the field and press I to add a keyframe. Or RMB 
on the field and choose Insert Keyframe.
If you are using a emitter particle system, then use the start and end time of the particle system.

When keyframing the Density, will the simulation appear as if it started at the frame you keyframed it? Will you need to bake the frames before it? – Anson Savage Mar 25 '16 at 18:02
