Description
I have tried many different charcoal pucks over the decades. Some fall apart, some explode when lit, some are so large I need to break them into smaller pieces. Some are really difficult to ignite or don’t completely ignite. Some are easily extinguished by melting resins and some burn so hot, that the resins char before they release their fragrance.
In short, I have finally found the perfect self-igniting charcoals for my own use and have been using them exclusively for the past few years.
They all light very easily and evenly.
When in-stock, we now carry Mini Pucks, Small Pucks and Large pucks.
Mini pucks are Greek in origin, 1.5 centimetres in diameter and burn for approximately 1/2 an hour. They are perfect for cleansing a room, exploring a new incense resin and other short-duration activities. They come in rolls of 6. One package will provide about 3 hours of incense burning.
Small Pucks are also produced in Greece and are 2 centimetres in diameter and last about 3/4 of an hour, 45 minutes. They come in rolls of 6. One package of Small Pucks will give you about 4.5 hours of incense enjoyment.
Large Pucks are substantially large and produced in Holland Over many decades, Three Kings Incense charcoal has set the standard for quality in this industry and is the benchmark for many.
Large pucks are about 3 centimetres in diameter and burn for about 1 hour each making them perfect for longer sessions. Large Pucks come in generous rolls of 10 to a package. And provide up to 10 hours of use which is more than double the burning time of the Small Pucks and 3 times longer than the Mini Pucks. The large Pucks are the most economical and give us the best burn for our buck.
To use your charcoal pucks for burning incense, prepare a non-flammable Ceramic or metal bowl or dish and line it with at least 1 inch of sand, fine gravel or unscented kitty litter.
To light, the charcoal lay it on your bed of insulating material and light an edge with a lighter. When it starts sputtering it should sputter and spark all the way through the charcoal.
Wait until it is burning evenly and there is a layer of fine white ash covering the charcoal.
Take a piece of resin or powder about the size of a lentil or small pea and place it in the middle of the coal. wood powders and incense blends can be applied in larger quantities without fear of extinguishing the puck as do pure resins when overdone.
Enjoy.

Never leave a burning coal unattended and always keep it away from flammable materials such as curtains, cats and kids.

Super fast shipment! Great communication, just a bit stunned by the size of the discs. They're not much bigger than a dime! But high quality as stated. Just cant really fit the incense on them…

Lights quickly & lasts about an hour if properly lit & placed. I recommend to light it outdoor first then bring it indoors since the saltpeter activates and gives off an unpleasant smoke.

This is a review that I was waiting for with some
trepidation ; discerning my ability to truly extend
gratitude with the depth of respect due to a
person so connected with the flow and ebb .The limits and possibilities with nature and the
time it takes to work with it, when/where/and how.
I have NEVER made an order with any business that was

It’s always a great experience shopping this store! I know my stuff will be packed with care, and shipped quickly! These charcoal pieces are great for burning whatever you need burned 👍🏻 The last ones I ordered from here started burning easily, and burned cleanly. I kept them in a plastic bag with a silica packet to keep them dry. They were so good, I ordered more!

Just received these, and used one right away. The description is spot on. The charcoal puck lights very easily, and it heats up quickly. Great purchase.
A packet of sandalwood power was included as a gift; I have not used it yet, but it smells absolutely delicious. I can’t wait. Thank you!

I received my order 2 days ago. I was quite surprised by the size of these charcoal disc! The pictures on the stores page does not do justice on the exact size and design.
I wish they did a proper comparison in size so that you can work out if the pricing is fair.
So here I will compare. I ordered 3 packs. Each disc is the size of a Nickel coin, or 5 cents. The height of each disc is approximately 1/2 inch. These discs are SMALL.
They do light up fast, swiftly which I Love about these. I have cut them in half, and each piece still lights up very fast! I recommend ordering more than 3 packs so that you can avoid running too quickly! They are high quality, but in SMALL batches.

these Burn very fast and hot, but i found they are quite small and when trying to balance a tiny bit of frankincense resin on top it kept falling off.

Very, very quick light pucks. It is still a far better idea to light this outside before you bring it back in. Still less noxious than other pucks I've used. Lasts for about 30 – 45 minutes. Really nice alternative until I get my electric incense heater!
