Charcoal Incense Jar

For loose incense, you need a burner that can take the heat of charcoal. This compact brass incense jar is designed for charcoal discs with resins or herbs on top, and has a removable grid lid that lets the fragrance through while stopping ash from scattering.

The polished brass is lightly etched with decoration. Because it is so small, it travels well and fits on altars and shelves where space is limited.

Setting it up

Light a charcoal tablet with tongs and let it settle into the container until it glows and turns grey at the edges, then sprinkle a little resin or loose incense on top.

Use it 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.
