Incense Charcoal, Bakhoor & Accessories – Everything for Burning Resins (13)

Incense charcoal and bakhoor are at the heart of any fumigation ritual with resin incense or herbs – this collection brings together everything you need: charcoal tablets, traditional Arabic incense and accessories for safe, enjoyable use.

Charcoal, bakhoor and tools – essentials for burning resin incense and loose incense

Whether you burn Frankincense, Myrrh or other resin incense, here you will find everything to go with it.

  • Incense charcoal (33 mm) – Quick-lighting charcoal tablets made from plant-based carbon, designed to glow evenly and provide steady heat for resin incense, herbs or Frankincense. Low smoke output and long, consistent burn time.
  • Bakhoor – traditional Arabic incense – Wood chips, most often aloeswood, soaked in precious oils and resins. Used for centuries across the Arab world to fill rooms with a deep, long-lasting fragrance. Placed on a glowing charcoal disc, bakhoor releases its scent slowly and gently.
  • Charcoal tongs – A sturdy metal tool for holding, lighting and placing the charcoal tablet safely in the burner. Essential for handling heat without risk.
  • Smudge feather – A traditional feather for gently directing smoke through a room. Widely used in purification rituals and during meditation.

How to use incense charcoal – with resins, bakhoor or burning herbs

Hold the charcoal tablet with tongs over a flame until it begins to spark, then place it in a heat-resistant incense burner. Wait until the surface is fully covered with a thin layer of white ash – this signals the charcoal is ready – before adding your resin incense or bakhoor. Place only a small amount at a time, as the heat releases the aromas quickly.

This selection makes a thoughtful gift for anyone curious about burning natural resins – or a welcome addition to an existing incense ritual.
