coiled incense

[Guest guest]

Here is a really goofy question........does anyone out there know how to

burn the coiled incense? I have tried everything from breaking off tiny

pieces to dangling it from a high location.

I have a cheap metal incense holder I got years ago that has a simple piece

of bent wire that holds the coil. Let's see if I can describe it: There is

a shallow metal pan with a 1/2 inch lip, about 4 inches across that is the

base. There is a little piece of metal on the inside lip that makes me

think of a bracket for holding a flagpole. You insert a piece of metal that

comes with the burner into the 'flagpole holder bit' so that the metal wire

stands upright about 4 inches, and on the upper end, it is bent slightly

into a 'scoop' form.

 

You get the coiled incense, light the *innermost* point of the coil, and

carefully hang the outer end of hte coil from the 'scoop' form. Then, the

coil burns from the inside/out, and the ash drops into the shallow pan.

 

HTH.

PS I don't have any coiled incense! Someone gave some great stuff to me

years ago, I misplaced it, bought some that was horrible, and threw it out.

But I do have the coil burner, LOL.
