Electric burners are great for enjoying the aroma of incense, aromatic woods, spices, resins and Bakhour without the heavy smoke and charred scent of burning incense on coals.
The illuminated burner Fire Flower has finely cut openings, allowing soft inner light to glow from within. The illumination's effect is lovely and magical in a darker setting.
The Green Lotus burner is simply a gorgeous and elegant design.
The Morning Mist burner is elegant in its simplicity and evokes early morning incense offerings. It features a cast metal cover with a traditional geometric Star of David design. (Careful not to burn your fingers when it heats up.)
The Black Brazier Burner features a simple, bold design supported by 3 feet. It has an elegant cast metal cover with an open floral motif, that allows smoke to rise through it.
All the electric burners come with a digital temperature controller that includes a timer. One press turns the burner on for 1/2 hour, two presses for 1 hour, 3 for 2 hours etc. They come with a thermostat for precise temperature control. They are all packaged in a plain shipping box.
Made of high-quality ceramic, these electric burners come with a burning tray, metal tongs and an incense spoon. They operate at 110 Volts (NORTH AMERICA ONLY!!), and have a two-prong plug.
PLEASE NOTE-THESE BURNERS ARE NOT MEANT FOR USE IN EUROPE AND THE UK. IF YOU USE A USA TO EURO PLUG ADAPTOR THEY MAY BURN OUT AND I CAN'T REPLACE OR REFUND THEM.
Electric Incense Burners open up a whole new dimension of experience when it comes to appreciating incense and aromatic materials.
Where charcoals burn hot, generate a lot of smoke and consume incense quickly, incense heaters can often deliver hours of aromatic experience that is all fragrance and not all smoke. I have enjoyed the complex nuances of many resins and woods for 2 or 3 hours before charging the heater again.
To keep the burning tray clean, I cut out 2 1/2 inch rounds or squares from aluminum foil. To save time I fold a large rectangle of foil repeatedly till I have a square of about 3 inches wide, then cut out a circle. Every time I place a new incense material in the heater, I peel off another disc from the foil and press it into the heating tray, so it forms a little bowl keeping hot liquid resins within it. Be mindful that the tray is very hot when the heater is on, and do not press the foil into the tray with your fingers when it is hot! I use the tongs and the incense spoon to set the foil into the bowl-shaped tray. Precut foil squares, rounds and foil cups are available on Amazon and eBay.
Steel or aluminum cupcake forms work perfectly as an alternative to the supplied incense tray and can be purchased inexpensively online.
Electric incense heaters offer another valuable feature in that you can "pause" your incense burning and continue burning the same piece or a different material at a future time.
THERMOSTAT- Incense and aromatic material will benefit from experimentation and exploration on the heater. With many compounded incenses, one can set the thermostat at 180 degrees and slowly raise it as different notes fill the air. Exotic materials like Ambergris, Agarwood and delicate botanicals like Rose petals or Cedar tips might benefit from even lower temperatures. I burn most resins at around 180-300 degrees. With a little practice, you will discover the best temperatures for each aromatic in your collection and make every piece sing.
