Review on Ceramic Coffin Incense Burner - Hollow Holder for Aromatherapy by VOSAREA by Lara Kaye

I mostly use seedless Japanese incense sticks, and traditional incense sticks always leave little unburned stubs. So I tried this one. I lit a 5.5" seedless incense stick (Cayuragi Sandalwood), blew out the flame once it was glowing red, and placed it in the ceramic "coffin" directly on the refractory liner. The incense stick burned through leaving nothing but Ash. No more stumps! Next I tried an 8" Indian bamboo core incense stick (Mysore Sandal Incense) with the bamboo end cut off. It had a little more trouble and went out once but after making sure it was about 3/4 "Inch glowed before I put it down it continued to burn until there was only ash left. But I doubt I'll continue to use it for traditional sticks as I actually got it for my seedless incense sticks due to their unique problem. Considering Given that the incense stick is designed to be INSIDE, I didn't find the outside measurements very helpful, so here are the inside measurements of the holder (bottom): 8" and 3/4". "long, 1" and 3/8" wide and 1/2" deep. For my 5.5 inch seedless Japanese incense sticks, this holder is quite large. Even my 8 inch core Indian incense stick can lay flat with the bamboo end intact. However, I would still check the length of the incense stick before proceeding with this one. My only concern is that the "fireproof" packaging will show burn marks after the first use. No word on what it is and no one knows how long it will last. I think I will. As for the "fire resistance" of the packaging. Mine was too long so I cut off a small piece of wood and tried to burn it on the stove. It lights up, but the flame goes out very quickly. However, I am very glad that I chose ceramic instead of wood. And I would definitely NOT choose this type of bamboo holder: bamboo is more flammable than regular wood and has a low flash point! And the last. Burning incense will leave oil stains on the lid, which is normal. But the quirky, angular cutout on the lid makes wiping difficult. I think I'll have to hand wash with a sponge and dish soap, and that's a bit more of a hassle than I expected. Conclusion: It worked for me.
