Prepare the Charcoal Disc:
Use a pair of tongs to hold a charcoal disc and ignite it using an open flame. Be careful while lighting it.
Wait for Cracks:
Allow the charcoal disc to burn until it starts to crackle and turn white or gray on the surface. This process typically takes a few minutes.
Place on a Burner or Heatproof Dish:
Once the charcoal disc is ready, carefully place it in a designated incense burner or on a heatproof dish designed for this purpose. Ensure the burner or dish is on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Wait for Full Ignition:
Wait patiently until the charcoal disc is fully ignited and glowing evenly. You’ll know it’s ready when the entire surface emits a consistent, glowing heat. This step may take a few more minutes.
Prepare the Frankincense Resin:
While waiting for the charcoal to ignite, select a small piece of frankincense resin. You can also break a larger piece into smaller chunks for more controlled burning.
Place the Resin on the Charcoal:
Once the charcoal is fully lit and glowing, carefully place the chosen piece of frankincense resin directly onto the center of the hot charcoal disc. Be cautious to avoid direct contact with the hot surface.
Allow it to Burn:
As the frankincense resin is placed on the charcoal, it will begin to smolder and release its fragrant smoke. You can enjoy the aromatic experience as it fills the space.
Adding More Resin:
If desired, you can add more frankincense resin pieces to the burning charcoal as time goes on. This allows you to sustain the aromatic effect for an extended period.
