How to use Self Lighting CHARCOAL
The fast-lighting charcoal briquettes are self-lighting and long-burning . refer Video Tutorial
They can be used to burn incense resins, powdered herbal blends, dried loose herbs and non self burning smudge wands.
The charcoal burns evenly and stay lit.
Remove a disc from the sealed roll and place it in a heat proof container. (preferably an incenser). At the base of your container, place a small piece of aluminium foil , place the non active Charcoal Briquette on top.
if you choose a METAL incenser, be careful the Metal will get very hot while the charcoal is burning, you can place a cork heat pad under your dish to prevent the heat penetrating onto another surface - ie table
Simply ignite the edge of the disc with a lighter (a long BBQ lighter works best) , give it a few seconds while the disc lights and sparks across.
The disc will release smoke for a few seconds and the edges will start to turn greyish white. You may also gently blow onto the briquette to speed up the burning process. - (ignite your charcoal outside or in a well ventilated area)
Place your resin incense, loose herbs , sweet spices or the end of your smudge wand on top of the lit charcoal.
The smoky aroma of the herbs, spices or resins will be released.
Avoid over loading or completely covering the disk briquette while it is self igniting .
