How to Burn Resin Incense with Bamboo Charcoal

[@stpooh]

I stopped using charcoal with incense a few years back due the way it left soot on our ceiling and concerns about toxicity. I didn't know about the Japanese style of charcoal and I will now be ordering some soon. You also gave me some good ideas about being creative by adding herbs like rosemary to incense resins. Thank you for your video!

[@stpooh]

Andrea Butje the bamboo charcoal arrived and I used it with frankincense resin and rosemary to bring in the New Year. Loved it! It didn't have the toxic smelling, heavy smoke of the standard self lighting charcoal. I think It is worth the slightly longer lighting time for cleaner burning. Thank you again for your video demo! Happy New Year!

I get major emotional, auditory, tactile and olfactory ASMR from your videos. You have the perfect speaking voice for ASMR

[@birdiedodoproductions2884]

Andrea, so pleased you responded to my question. They just arrived and much nicer than quick burn. Thank-you.

[@aromatherapyoils]

Thank you this was wonderful...🏵🌟

[@aromatherapyoils]

You're most welcome, Marianne! We're happy to know you're enjoying the information we share 💜

[@ZenWombs]

Thank u for the video. Can u share where to get the charcoal?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hello! We prefer bamboo or hinoki charcoal because they do not have any lighter fluid in the charcoal as some of the regular charcoal rounds. They are available at Aromatics International. www.aromatics.com/products/charcoal-tablets 💜

[@Suleyy666]

How long does the smoke from the incense burn for? Thank you

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Suley! It depends on how much resin you add to the charcoal, but the bamboo charcoal discs generally burn for an hour or two. 💜

[@rebeccadearman9986]

This video is great! Where is the best place to get Bamboo Charcoal from?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Rebecca Dearman I get them from Scents-of-Earth www.scents-of-earth.com/charcoal.html

[@TripleBlsdNHlyFvrd]

Aromahead Institute Do you also get your resins from here too? If not, where to you recommend to get resins and gums from locally and/or online?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Yes and I also enjoy them from here at Aromatics: www.aromatics.com/search?q=resin

[@RhaynePrincess]

Will the smoke trigger my fire alarm? I have never used incense before but I am curious. I love frankincense.

[@aromatherapyoils]

I've not had that problem but I usually done burn them right under or new the smoke detector.

[@FernandoJose.FJSFJS]

Excelent Video!! I loved!

[@aromatherapyoils]

Thank you!

[@ClioMako]

Can the bamboo charcoal be broken easily with one’s fingers? I use only a small amount of resin, so I tend to break my normal charcoal in four smaller pieces, just to minimize wasting.

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi ClioMako! The pieces of bamboo charcoal are quite small and compact. To break them into smaller chunks to suit your preference you could use scissors. scents-of-earth.com/bamboo-charcoal-small-baieido/

[@legolego0028]

Thanks for sharing this, Andrea!!!! :) :) :)

[@osinobis]

Where can you get the sandlewood powder from? The good stuff.

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hello! Scents of the Earth would be an excellent source for high quality Sandalwood Powder. Here's a link: scents-of-earth.com/search.php?search_query=sandalwood

[@josephbrantley625]

Hi, I really enjoy all of your videos! I can't seem to find where you buy this bamboo charcoal. Do you know where I could buy some?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Here is the link for the bamboo charcoal: scents-of-earth.com/bamboo-charcoal-small-baieido/

[@lorraincassesso1611]

I think you really should do meditation audio tapes your voice can calm anyone and the incense is wonderful

[@aromatherapyoils]

😀

[@birdiedodoproductions2884]

So I order some bamboo charcoal but it came in 4" long spikes that I would need to cut down. They are about half an inch diameter and almost impossible to light? Any suggestions for cutting and getting them started?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Bamboo Charcoal sticks are often used as a natural and simple way to filter tap water. Unfortunately, we are not sure about what the best way to cut them would be as we like to use Bamboo Charcoal discs. They are available at Aromatics International. www.aromatics.com/products/charcoal-tablets

[@paisley436]

Where do you get this bamboo charcoal? I looked at amazon and did a search

[@aromatherapyoils]

The Bamboo Charcoal we us is available at Aromatics International. 😄www.aromatics.com/products/charcoal-tablets

[@meriam2012]

How much essential oil to the resins would you add?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Merja! To be honest, we don’t usually measure our ingredients when making incense recipes! It’s more of a creative process than a technical one. But we wanted to give you measurements to use as a “reference point.” You can adjust your ingredients as you like! 💜 To add essential oils, simply drop them right onto your resin. Here is a recipe you could try: 5 drops Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) 4 drops Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) 1 drop Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6Cce5aor9V1e8U

Where can I find the bamboo charcoal?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Dee! We like to use bamboo or hinoki charcoal because they do not have any lighter fluid in the charcoal as some of the regular charcoal rounds. They are available at Aromatics International. www.aromatics.com/products/charcoal-tablets

[@gbby2255]

Where can i buy your products? The resin blends and sandalwood

[@aromatherapyoils]

G bby, I don't sell any products. But you can find the supplies from this video here:scents-of-earth.com/bamboo-charcoal-small-baieido/ and at aromatics.com

[@sportsmusiclover]

Thanks very much for a wonderful video

[@rahsadeen4571]

(12-18-19) How do you stop it from burning with the burnt smell?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Rah Sadeen! Burning resin incense should create a fragrant smoke rather than a burnt smell. It would be hard to know for sure what may be happening for you. Perhaps try a different type of charcoal. Here are two types we recommend: scents-of-earth.com/bamboo-charcoal-small-baieido/ www.aromatics.com/products/charcoal-tablets

[@rahsadeen4571]

Thank you kindly

[@richlisa8134]

[@L.J.01]

Is bamboo charcoal healthy to breathe? I'm trying to find a way to burn resins without the usual charcoal. Thanks for the video!

[@aromatherapyoils]

This is pretty clean for burning, Healthy Aging.

[@L.J.01]

Also wondering where I can get bamboo charcoal tablets? Thanks again. :-)

[@L.J.01]

Thanks for the info Andrea. After watching your video I searched all over Boulder for these and no one, not even the Tibetan or apothecary shops, carry anything without toxic lighter fluid. Your videos are great - please keep it up. I'll be watching them all no doubt. ☺

[@aromatherapyoils]

You can order the bamboo charcoal here, Healthy Aging: scents-of-earth.com/bamboo-charcoal-small-baieido/

[@darior.3596]

I liked it very much

[@aromatherapyoils]

This came from this supplier, Alem Luengo scents-of-earth.com/bamboo-charcoal-small-baieido/

[@adriennesmith6234]

I miss Andrea - Aromahead Institute has changed hands. There is too much focus on selling “stuff” . Andrea used to post lovely quotes on Aromahead FB and beautiful recipes. Andrea is also softly spoken and not gushy I wish she would start up her own KZbin channel again.

[@NicoleRetuta]

I agree! I totally miss Andrea and Cindy! I wish they would pop in from time to time. They’re the OG!

[@curtbradley549]

Hi great content . I cant help but noticing you have a glass top stove , a simple square of tinfoil placed on the smallest burner on med and a piece of resin ,bakhoor ,incense, essential oil ect placed ontop of that will totally replace the need for charcoal ! The traditional way is waaayyy out . Peace .

[@aromatherapyoils]

Clever suggestion! Thanks, Curt!

[@bizarrebroz3424]

Light a candle then hold it over the candle instead. Saves your lighter fuel

[@aromatherapyoils]

That's a great suggestion. Thank you!
