Burning supports for sage, frankincense, scented sticks, and cones are essential to enable these aromatic materials to be burned safely and efficiently. Each type of holder is designed to match the particularities of each form of incense or flavor. Here are some types of burning media:
1. Supports for sage
-
Ceramic or metal incense burners: These holders are designed to support frankincense or bundles of sage, often with a burning charcoal on which to place the incense. Make sure the stand has a heat-resistant base to prevent burning.
-
Wooden supports: Some sage stands are made of wood, with a special place for charcoal. They can add a rustic and natural touch.
2. Supports for incense
-
Special incense burners: These are containers designed for burning frankincense in the form of granules or stems. These holders often come with a perforated cover to allow smoke to escape.
-
Charcoal Incense Holders: These are types of metal or ceramic stands that can support burning coals and incense. It is important that they are heat-resistant and have a design that allows for even burning.
3. Supports for Scented sticks
-
Vertical supports: These holders have a special design to support the scented sticks in an upright position, allowing the smoke to disperse easily. They are usually made of ceramic, wood or metal.
-
Slotted holders: These holders have slots or holes where the scented sticks can be inserted. They allow for uniform combustion and dispersion of smoking throughout the room.
4. Cone Holders
-
Incense burners for cones: These holders are specially designed to support the incense cones, having a heat-resistant base and a compartment to collect the ashes. Some even have a perforated cap to allow the smoke to release.
-
Supports with decorative shapes: There are cone holders that have artistic shapes, such as figurines or flowers, adding a decorative element while burning your incense cones.
Considerations for use
-
Safety: Make sure the stand is stable and placed on a heat-resistant surface. Avoid leaving burning unattended.
-
Cleaning: After use, it is important to clean the holder to remove any incense or ash residues. Use a damp cloth or warm water, depending on the material.
