To use burning tools for resin incense, begin by gathering your essential tools: a charcoal burner, a pair of tongs, a small shovel, and a spatula. Start by preparing your charcoal burner, which should be a heat-resistant vessel such as a brass or ceramic bowl filled with a layer of sand or ash to help distribute heat and protect the surface. Next, use the tongs to carefully pick up a piece of charcoal, and light it with a long match or lighter. Hold the charcoal until you see it start to spark or turn red, indicating it is ignited. Then, use the tongs to place the lit charcoal onto the sand or ash in the burner. Allow the charcoal to sit for a few minutes until a thin layer of ash forms on the surface, which indicates it is fully heated and ready for use.
Once the charcoal is prepared, use the small shovel to handle resin granules, such as those in our Ritual Resin Incense. Gently sprinkle a few pieces of resin onto the hot charcoal using the spatula. The resin will start to melt and release aromatic smoke, filling the air with a fragrant and purifying scent. You can adjust the amount of resin as needed, depending on the intensity of the aroma you desire. If the charcoal becomes too hot or if you need to adjust the position, use the tongs to carefully move it around without touching it directly. Always ensure that you handle all tools with care, as they can become hot during use, and never leave burning charcoal unattended. When finished, allow the charcoal and burner to cool completely before disposing of any remaining ashes safely.
