How do you use the Green Tree incense burner?
Place a lit charcoal tablet in the burner and wait until the charcoal glows evenly, recognizable by a light gray surface. Then sprinkle a small amount of incense granules, incense sticks, or loose herbs onto the charcoal. The scent is released as soon as the material comes into contact with the heat. The wooden handle allows you to safely pick up and move the burner while the metal is hot, which is useful for smudging when you want to actively guide the smoke through a room.
The pan can also be used without charcoal: with a tea light underneath as a heat source and a small sieve or aluminum foil in the pan, you can burn incense granules more slowly and gently. You can find more smudging materials in the smudging category.

Incense burner for smudging and bakhoor
An incense pan with a handle is the classic tool for smudging. Unlike a stationary burner that you place on a table, a pan allows you to actively walk through a room and direct the smoke along doors, windows, or over people. This makes this type of burner more practical for cleansing rituals than a standing model.
Bakhoor is an Arabic form of incense made from wood or resin infused with perfume oil. It is traditionally burned on charcoal and gives off a rich, long-lasting scent. The Green Tree pan is also suitable for this use. Incense granules such as frankincense, myrrh, and copal work in the same way. You can find more incense options in the incense category.
Safety Information
The metal of the pan becomes hot during use. Always hold the pan by the wooden handle and never by the pan itself. After use, place the pan on a fireproof, heat-resistant surface and let it cool completely before setting it down. Use tongs to light and place the charcoal tablet. Keep the burner out of reach of children and pets, and never leave it burning unattended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is charcoal included?
No. The incense pan comes without charcoal tablets. Charcoal tablets must be purchased separately. Use special incense charcoal, not barbecue briquettes.
Can I also use this pan for white sage or palo santo?
Yes, but only in granule form. Bundled sage sticks or palo santo wood are best burned loose in your hand or in an abalone shell. Loose white sage leaves, palo santo granules, and sage resin work well on charcoal in this pan.
How do I clean the pan?
Let the pan cool completely. Remove the ash residue with a dry cloth or brush. Do not submerge in water, as prolonged contact with moisture can damage the powder coating and the wood. A dry wipe is sufficient for normal use.
