A beautiful, decorative incense burner to burn incense resin, incense grains, sticks, cones, powder and granules. Use: sprinkle a layer of sand in the burner. Light a piece of charcoal and place it on the burner. Use coal tongs for this. Wait until the coal is colored light gray and then sprinkle some incense powder, granules, resin, incense grains, etc. on it. The ember will burn to ash and fall through the grate into the sand. Please note: the incense burner gets hot, place it on a fireproof surface. Always be careful when using hot materials.
