How to use
Leaf, cone, and uzumaki incense can be placed on top of the ash to burn safely. Sen incense can be stuck in the ash to stand upright.
The burner can also be used for smokeless incense, where ash is used to help release the purest form of the fragrance from aromatic wood:
- Light a piece of charcoal and bury it under the ash.
- Aromatic wood chips are then placed on top of where the charcoal is buried, separated by a thin layer of ash.
- The heat will make the wood chips release the purest form of fragrance.

Care instructions
- Keep your cast iron ware in a dry, well-ventilated place to prevent rusting.
- The best way to remove ash residue is simply to brush or wipe it off with a dry dishcloth.
- If washing to remove ash residue, please rinse with plain water, do not use soap or a scrub brush, and dry thoroughly to ensure no moisture is left behind.
- For products with grooves, use a blow dryer to ensure all nooks are well-dried.
