Guest guest Posted March 30, 2002 Report Share Posted March 30, 2002 Josephene- I am not Chris, but yes adding the tears to a charcoal is a good method. Light the charcoal and place it in the burner, add the tears a few at a time. Janet Dear Chris, >I just bought some Frankincense Tears and a terra cotta burner. My question >is how do I burn this?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2002 Report Share Posted March 30, 2002 Thanks Janet, I went to the health food store and bought some. Do I just let it burn untill the charcoal is all used up? If I want to stop burning it how do I do that? Thanks, Josephene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2002 Report Share Posted March 31, 2002 Josephene- You are most welcome. I just let it burn, to put it out I would cover the burner with a bowl to close off the oxygen. Someone else might have a different suggestion. I would not douse it with water. Put in a pinch I suppose you could. >Thanks Janet, > >I went to the health food store and bought some.

My > question > is how do I burn this? Do I need to put the tears on charcoal? Do I > light > the charcoal or the tears? Put some sand in the bottom of the burner ... light the charcoal, let it get hot (you'll see a light ash over the coal). The you place a tear or two of the resin on the coal and let it smolder. You may want to knock the blackened resin off the coal before you put fresh tears on to prevent an acrid burnt smell. > Do I just let it burn untill the charcoal is all used up? Well, if you are indoors, that might be a lot of smoke actually. Usually I break my coal in half for indoor use ... > > If I want to stop burning it how do I > do that? I usually just let it burn out .. but if you need to put it out in a hurry .. squirt it with some water rom a spray bottle (warning .. can be messy) > > > Thanks, > Josephene Hope that helps!

Two reasons I say this .. One was I noticed that you said you had a terra cotta burner .. and just in my personal experience .. any incense burner I have that isn't metal I put sand in the bottom of it . See, sand absorbs the heat .. so you can even have a container that is not really heat proof .. like a clay flower pot, put sand in the bottom and it can handle the heat of a charcoal, whereas if you would have put it directly onto the clay pot it would shatter from the heat ..... Also, many incense burners, for whatever reason, are designed too deep, and the coal goes out prematurely cause there is not enough air circulation .. the sand help raise the coal in the pot to a higher level, where there is more air circulating and it burns better if that is the case ... > > > Thanks, > Josephene *Smile* Chris (list mom) BIG SALT SALE - THIS WEEKEND ONLY! http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
