⚡ At a Glance
- • Material & Build: Solid cast iron bowl, 6.5cm high by 8.5cm diameter, with perforated lotus patterned lid
- • Best for: Users who want a durable, multi-use burner for cones, sticks, fresh incense and wax melts
- • Not ideal for: Those who require flameless warming or who cannot provide a heat-proof surface
Solid cast iron construction with a decorative perforated lid allows controlled smoke release. Suitable for cones and sticks, fresh incense on charcoal, and wax melts when placed on a log burner.
Versatile scenting, with a solid cast iron bowl
Cones can be placed directly into the bowl, while incense sticks stand when the bowl is partly filled with sand. Fresh incense and resins burn on a charcoal disc placed in the base, with smoke rising through the perforated lotus lid.
Uses multiple burn methods to suit different routines, so one burner covers cones, sticks, fresh resin and more. The ability to adapt set-ups means less kit to store and swap between rituals.
Suitable for wax melts, with log-burner placement
The bowl can be placed on top of a log burner so the heat melts wax added to the bowl, releasing scent without a direct flame. Care is advised to avoid overheating; remove wax if it begins to smoke.
Adds gentle fragrance from existing hearth heat, useful for small living spaces and seasonal melts. Regular monitoring prevents overheating and keeps use safe.
Safe high-heat use, thanks to cast iron construction
Cast iron tolerates high temperatures but becomes very hot during use, so placement on a suitable heat-proof surface is required. Charcoal discs used for fresh incense are lit then set in the bowl, increasing surface temperature.
Durable material copes with repeated heating, offering longevity compared with fragile alternatives. Appropriate positioning and care provide safe, controlled burning.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use incense sticks upright in the bowl?
A: Place sand partly into the bowl to stand incense sticks upright, as sticks will not stand unaided.
Q: How do I burn fresh incense or resins?
A: Light a charcoal disc and place it in the base of the bowl, then add fresh incense or herbs on top; smoke will rise through the perforated lid.
Q: Can I melt wax directly in the bowl?
A: Yes, the bowl can be placed on top of a log burner and wax melts added, but take care not to overheat the wax and remove it immediately if it smokes.
