Cone incense often comes with a metal disk that you can burn it on. Anything that’s heat-resistant and will hold the cone is a suitable container. Make sure you place the container away from anything flammable, such as curtains, lampshades, or paper.
If you filled the container with sand, position the cone evenly on the sand so that it doesn’t fall over.
The flame doesn’t need to appear for very long—5-10 seconds is fine. Avoid using the stove or any kind of strong flame to light the tip of the cone, as you may burn your hands. [5] X Expert Source Julie Brow-PolancoMaster Herbalist & Certified Aromatherapist Expert Interview. 12 April 2022.
Be aware that incense cones often give off more smoke than other types of incense. Your cone incense will burn out on its own once it’s completely finished.
Once you’ve given the cone access to more oxygen, try relighting the cone if necessary.
Check to make sure there isn’t an open air vent near the incense.
