How to Achieve a Pleasant Incense Burning Experience

You have to keep in mind these tips to keep the experience satisfying and safe. While you may already know some of the following, you may still be able to find two or three new ones.

Incense is hot

This is a no-brainer, but it is still worth mentioning. It is one of the general rules in burning incense. It is a hot matter versus other legal highs you will find. Thus, it pays off to take precautions. NEVER TOUCH BURNING INCENSE. IT MIGHT BURN YOUR FINGERS OR RUIN YOUR FAVORITE SHIRT. Avoid any injuries and burns on your skin – don’t touch the burning incense.

Using a burner, you should not put it in a non-heat-resistant surface. You may want to put it on a ceramic tile or a trivet. Regardless of the burning method you’re using, the censer’s outside may get hot. Additionally, use a burner that tolerates or takes the heat. If you’re using charcoal, remember that its temperature can get as high as 1500 degrees F.

Put the burning incense on a stable and heatproof burner. Remember that some burners also get hot – those not insulated. If using charcoal tablets, you must take note it can shatter a glass container – without insulating materials, such as ash or sand.

Plus, you should not only make sure that the burner is insulated so that the surface you would place it on would be safe from the heat that it’s going to generate. Remember that a hot burner could cause discoloration or damage, especially to wooden surfaces. It can also shatter glass tabletops.

Take note: The ash from the burner could also cause discoloration on your furniture. It may even cause fire hazard. Thus, you should make sure that the ash isn’t going to fall on it.
