To enjoy your incense cones safely and effectively follow these simple directions: Choose a suitable incense holder: Select a heat-resistant incense holder or burner specifically designed for use with incense cones. Ensure the holder is stable and placed on a flat non-flammable surface. Prepare the holder: If your incense holder has a hole or indentation for the cone ensure it is clear and free from debris. If using a standalone holder insert a small piece of foil or ash into the holder to catch any ash from the burning cone. Light the incense cone: Hold the tip of the incense cone over a flame such as a match or lighter until it ignites. Allow the flame to burn for a few seconds then gently blow it out leaving the cone smoldering and releasing fragrant smoke. Place the cone on the holder: Carefully place the lit incense cone on the designated area of your incense holder. Ensure it is positioned securely and won't tip over during burning. Enjoy the fragrance: As the incense cone smolders it will release fragrant smoke filling the air with its scent. Relax and enjoy the calming and aromatic ambiance created by the burning incense. Extinguish when finished: Once the incense cone has burned down completely or you no longer wish to use it carefully extinguish the ember by gently tapping or blowing on it. Ensure the cone is fully extinguished before disposing of any remaining ash. Clean the holder: Dispose of any ash or residue from the incense holder and clean
