Burning Incense with Charcoal Instructions

step-by-step:

Step 1 – Light the edge of a chemical-free bamboo charcoal while holding it with a utensil (tweezers work great!).

Important: many commercial incense charcoals contain toxic chemicals such as sodium or potassium nitrate, sulfur, etc. These can usually be identified by the charcoal crackling or sparking when lit, and/or by the odors it exudes when lit.

We prefer using chemical-free natural charcoals. So far, the best chemical-free natural wood charcoals we’ve found are made of bamboo or natural roots and come from Japan.

Step 2 – Place the lit charcoal in center of burner.

We prefer using white chaff ash inside of our incense burner. It allows for air circulation all around the charcoal.

You can also use sand, crushed rock, decomposed granite, etc.

Step 3 – Wait until at least three-quarters of the charcoal is red-hot, it should be a light grey all over… 2 to 4 minutes or so.

Note: if the charcoal is not almost completely red-hot the incense will probably smother and therefore extinguish the charcoal.

Step 4 – sprinkle incense next to or directly on top of the hot charcoal to release it’s fragrance and produce smoke.

Note: don’t use too much incense… keep in mind that burning charcoal needs to breathe… fire needs oxygen.

Step 5 – you can continue to sprinkle incense on the hot coal as it burns and as desired.

Enjoy!

Stop burning the charcoal tablets with the sand, salt or water.
