Incense Cones

Buying Incense Cones

Incense cones, or cone incense, are small pyramids of scented granules or powder. Unlike incense sticks they do not contain wood as a fuel.

How do Incense Cones Burn?

Cones are great to use in a small space or if you want to produce little smoke. Incense cones can best be burned on a saucer or with a special Cone Burner. This is a round disc or bowl that is fireproof and collects the ashes. Cone burners have a recess, so that the cone remains upright. In addition, they often contain extra holes, where you can place Incense Sticks. These burners are great because you can use just one holder for multiple types of incense!

Lighting a cone is not that difficult. You put it upright with the point upwards and light it there. Use a small flame, because the cone burns quite quickly.
