Prepare the Burner:Fill a fireproof bowl, censer, or cauldron with sand, salt, or ash to insulate the container and prevent it from cracking.
Light the Charcoal:Hold the disk with tongs and use a long match or lighter to ignite the edge until it stops sparking and crackling.
Wait for Heat:Place the hot charcoal in the burner. Allow it to sit until it is completely gray and glows red, which reduces intense smoke and prevents the incense from burning too quickly.
Add Incense:Using a spoon or tongs, add a small amount of loose resin, herbs, or powder on top of the glowing charcoal.
Handle with Care:Always burn in a well-ventilated area, never leave the burning charcoal unattended, and let the charcoal cool completely (approx. 1 hour) before disposal
