<\/span>Let\u2019s go to know in detail step by step how to burn frankincense without charcoal<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNow, you have 3 selections to burn frankincense without charcoal. They are with an electric incense burner, an oil warmer and a handmade simple incense burner. Whether you use different support tools, you still follow the same way to burn frankincense. And right now, go together to know more about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 1: Prepare the diffuser<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFirst, prepare an electric incense burner, an oil warmer or a handmade burner you made. Clean it one more time if you don\u2019t make sure that it is completely clean. Because if you let it still have the old frankincense in it or dust, when you burn, you can feel that it has a very unpleasant confusion in the air. It not only doesn\u2019t help you relax but also makes you uncomfortable. Even though this is an extremely simple step, it still affects the results a lot. So don\u2019t forget and also don’t skip it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 2: Pour a barely amount of vegetable oil into the dish to avoid risking the dish becoming too hot and cracking<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTypically, you will only need about 1 to 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. Using oil has 2 good points. First it will minimize the case that the dish becomes too hot and results in cracking. Besides, it also helps that frankincense will not be stuck in the metal plate. So if you don\u2019t want to put much, you still should put a little bit of oil into it. But you have to pay attention to the type of oil. Not all oils can be used for burning frankincense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some you can use are sunflower seed oil, olive oil, etc. Because these oil types almost don\u2019t have any smell, it will not risk or mix with the fragrant aromas of frankincense. Other popular thick oils like jojoba, argan or coconut oil ought not to be used in this case. The reason why is that they have a stronger smell and it is not suitable for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, some people also pour water instead of oil probably because they think water will not be too hot like oil. However, water will evaporate and that is really not good for our original purpose. Hence, in our opinion, some oil such as sunflower seed oil or olive oil may be the best choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 3: Add some resin incense, in this article we use frankincense, into the oil<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou just need to put it into the oil directly. Besides frankincense, you also have many other choices similar to such as: copal, amber, myrrh,etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 4: Light a tea light and put it into. Or connect the burner to power if you use an electric incense burner<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you use the electric incense burner, at this step, you only have to connect the machine to power. Then, it will operate automatically to heat the frankincense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in the case the support tool that you use is oil warmer or handmade burner, you will supply heat for it by using a tea light. You can put it into the oil warmer (burner) first. After that, take a long slender pole candle which is burning to light the tea light already placed inside. Or you can light it by matches or normal lighter then putting it into carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choosing a tea light, you ought not to take a fragranced one because its aroma will mix with the frankincense. And of course no one likes this. In addition, you can replace the tea light with some candles. But we don\u2019t advise you to use the votive candles. They are too tall to use in the oil warmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 5: Let the oil and frankincense heat up<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nUp to now, you may complete all things that need to be done. You only need to wait for a short time. And how long it takes depends on many conditions like the size of burner, oil warmer, its material, the amount of oil you used, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a few minutes, the oil will heat up, the frankincense will also heat up. Meanwhile, the aroma of it will be released too. And it only has aroma when the oil is hot enough. At that time, you are able to immerse yourself in the wonderful scent of frankincense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 6: Blow out the candle or let it continue burning until it extinguishes itself<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou can blow out the candle if you don\u2019t have time to carefully monitor it. And if you have time, you can let it go on burning until it extinguishes itself. The tea light can burn up to 4 hours and some others can burn up to 6 hours. Thus, allow the tea light to burn longer, the aroma from frankincense will last longer. However, you still need to be careful because you are working with open flame – a dangerous thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 7: Replace the frankincense and oil after 3 to 4 days. Or clean it if you don\u2019t use it daily<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou are the one who likes to burn the frankincense daily, this is the best way for you. And because of that, you will need to replace or add more oil and frankincense after about 3 or 4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
