They light quickly and easily with a single match and do not exhibit the inconsistent lighting problems known to other brands.

• Light the charcoal with matches or lighter for about 20 seconds until it self-ignites.
• Use tongs to hold it up (never hold it with your fingers alone or you might get burned).
• Place the lit charcoal in a bowl or any incense burner. The bowl or incense burner should be filled with sand or dirt.  
• Let the charcoal warm for a few minutes. (It turns gray around the edges when it is ready)  
• Now you are ready! Add a small amount of resin on top of the charcoal.
• The resin will burn and soon release essential, aromatic oils through the smoke.
• Continue to place resins or powder on charcoal as they burn out and smoke decreases for a continuous burn.
