A classic 3.3 centimetre disc for your incense vessel
If you would like to burn resin, granular frankincense, spices or your own hand-blended mix, you need lasting embers. The Golden Temple charcoal tablet provides exactly this: the round 3.3 centimetre disc ignites quickly, glows evenly and then holds the hot embers for a long time.
How to use it step by step
Place a tablet into a heat-resistant incense vessel filled with fine sand or ash on the bottom. Hold a flame to the rim, and after a few seconds it will start sparking while the embers take hold. Wait until the top becomes covered with a pale grey ash layer, then sprinkle a pinch of resin or spice on it. The smoke starts gently and pleasantly fills the room.
Why this size is worth choosing for you
The 3.3 centimetre diameter is ideal for a medium-sized incense vessel and for smaller resin portions. If you burn incense less frequently, or only want to prepare embers for a single occasion, this size gives less smoke and a lower heat load than the larger variant. The box lasts a long time.
Where to use it safely
Always use it in a heat-resistant vessel on a stable surface, and keep a small glass of sand or ash nearby, onto which you can place the spent tablet. Do not ignite it near flammable materials. Ventilate during use and do not leave it within reach of children or pets.
What to watch when storing
Charcoal tablets become harder to ignite when exposed to moisture, so store them in their original box in a dry, cool place. In a sealed metal tin they keep their flammability for months. Keep them away from stoves and other heat sources.
