How to use benzoe resin incense

To burn resin incense, you need a heat-proof bowl (some people put sand in it to absorb the heat), a lighter or match, tongs and a charcoal briquet. 

1. Ignite the charcoal briquet with the lighter or match. It's important to hold the briquet with a tool (like tongs or pliers) and not with your fingers, unless you want to be in tremendous pain.
2. Put the briquet in the bowl, and wait until it turns white around the edges (this takes a couple of minutes). 
3. Carefully put a little bit of resin on top of the briquet. 
4. Now sit and wait for your pure aromatic bliss.

WARNING

Only use Benzoe as incense. It is not meant for consumption.
