How to get started:
1. Fill the base of your burner
2/3 full with sand, rocks, or ash, forming this into a cone shape as best you
can. The cone shape will allow for better airflow around the charcoal. Then
place the charcoal on top.
2. Place a charcoal tablet onto
the cone shaped sand, rocks or ash and light the edge of the charcoal. Some
charcoals are self-igniting (these contain potassium nitrate) they will spark
as you light it. Never hold the charcoal in your hand. If you need to hold it,
use tongs or tweezers.
3. Some charcoals have an
indentation on one side, if that is the case place your charcoal with the
indentation side facing up. The indentation will hold your resin.
4. Wait until the charcoal is hot
and covered with a thin layer of grayish ash. This can take about 5 minutes.
5. When the charcoal is ready add
a small amount of your resin into the indentation of the hot charcoal.
6. Allow the resin to burn,
releasing its fragrant smoke. When the smoke starts to thin out, add more
incense as desired. Charcoal should last around 20 minutes.
