Benzoin Resin - 50g

This tub holds benzoin resin, a loose incense for charcoal burning. Line your holder with a little sand if you like, set a lit charcoal disc on top and scatter on some resin for a smoky fragrance. Weights are approximate, so a tub may hold anything from 45g to 50g.

Benzoin makes a good companion for a reading chair or a hobby room where you can keep an eye on the burner.

How to use

Light a charcoal disc, holding it with tongs, and place it in your incense holder; the charcoal then lights itself across the surface. Once it starts to turn grey around the edges, add a little resin. Some people put sand in the holder to help absorb the heat.

Burning safely

• Charcoal tablets get extremely hot: light them with tongs, never by hand, and only in a heat-resistant container.
• Use in a well-ventilated room, on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Never leave burning charcoal or incense unattended, and keep it away from children, pets and anything flammable.
• Let the container and ash cool completely before touching or emptying it.
