Home Incense Kit - with Four Fragrances

The kit includes a Brass Hand Censer, one ounce sampling of four popular fragrances: Damascus Rose, Queen of Heaven, Frankincense, and Sweet Myrrh, charcoal briquettes, charcoal tongs, and instructions for burning incense.

Instructions for Burning:

Lighting your charcoal

To bring the charcoal to a full glow as quickly as possible, grip the charcoal firmly with metal tongs or tweezers. Hold over a candle flame until it begins to glow. Then place the lit charcoal in your Home Censer. It may take around 10 minutes for the charcoal to come to a full glow.

WARNING:

1. When the tablet has been lit, do not handle it as it will cause a burn.
2. Do not dispose of the ash remains in a trash bin as this may cause a fire.
3. Do not hold the tablet in your hand when lighting or burning.

Burning Monastery Icons Incense

Take a small spoonful of incense and apply it in a thin layer across the lit charcoal. The incense powder will burn and emit its fragrance almost immediately, and the grains of incense will burn slower and give a more sustained fragrance.

 For best results, keep the lid of the censer partly open or off. The metal censer may get hot as the charcoal and incense burn, so if you plan to offer your incense before an icon, it is best to hold the handle of the censer with a cloth to protect yourself from the heat.
