How to Burn Resin Incense Without Charcoal

Burning resin incense without charcoal is simple and easy to do. All you need is a heat-proof container and a heat source such as a tea light or incense stick. Here’s how to get started in three simple steps.

1. Find a heat-proof container such as a ceramic bowl, cup, or even a metal bowl. Be sure it is clean and dry before use.
2. Decide on what type of heat source you will use. You can either use a tea light candle or an incense stick.
3. Place a few pieces of resin incense into your container. Light the tea light candle or incense stick and place it in the container. Allow the heat to release the scent of the resin incense.

Once the resin incense has finished burning, leave the heat-source there until it has cooled down. When it has cooled, remove it from the container and discard it. Your container should be quite fragrant from the burning resin incense.

Burning Resin Incense without Charcoal

Harnessing the sublime scent of resin incense without the use of charcoal is surprisingly simple. To create your own home-made incense experience, all you need is a bowl and some materials to catch the heat—just a few simple steps.

Step 1 Gather the Materials

In order to make your own resin incense experience, you will need the following materials:

• A bowl or other heat-resistant vessel
• An object to catch the heat (a tile or baking sheet will work well)
• Resin incense granules

Step 2 Heat the Vessel

Once you’ve collected the materials for your incense experience, you’ll need to warm up your vessel. Place the bowl in the oven at low temperature (around 200°F (93°C)) and let it heat up for a few minutes. Once the bowl is hot, turn off the oven and let it cool before continuing.

Step 3 Place Objects Inside the Bowl

Once the vessel is deemed cool enough to handle, take it out of the oven and place your heat-catching object into the bowl. This will be used to disperse the heat and help your incense release its sweet scent.

Step 4 Light the Incense

Finally, you’re ready to light the incense. Place the incense granules onto the heat-catching object inside the bowl. Light the incense with a match or lighter, and wait for the smoke to rise and fill your room. Your incense will need to be monitored to ensure it doesn’t burn too much—inhaling too much smoke from incense can be dangerous. Enjoy!
