How To Make Backflow Incense Cones From Three (3) Ingredients

[@lo_zephyr_6427]

I substituted the sawdust with Toh Makkoh and used the same amounts, the smell is unbelievable

[@MammaG]

Wow, thanks for the tip, Jesse. I hadn't heard of Toh Makkoh until now, so I looked it up. That would certainly create a beautiful aroma. Cheers ♥ ♥ ♥

[@CatRanch]

I've gone through a bunch of how to make incense, this is the first video with actual measurements ty, so this is the one im making Hope the cats and I do it justice lol

[@MammaG]

Good luck ... I'm sure you and the cats will make awesome cones ❤

[@roshellchisolm2690]

One of Best and easy to follow videos on how to make and scent the cones…thank you

Thank you for your positive response, Roshell, much appreciated. Enjoy ❤

[@sketchybeans8653]

2 tsp. Cinnamon, about 2 tsp. saw dust, 3.5 tsp. water! Awesome. Thank you.

[@MammaG]

My pleasure, Sketchy Beans. Enjoy ❤

[@niccolealdrich4890]

Thank you! Your video is the first one I found in English. The others started with some store bought stuff I had no idea what it was. Now my imagination has gone wild on how to add scents to these.

Thank you for your comment, Niccole. I'm thrilled the video has stirred your creative imagination. Have fun 😊🌹

[@sylviaschuller4660]

Thank you for this recipe Georgina. I had no idea one could make this so easily.

[@MammaG]

Me too, Sylvia!! I watched this other video where a lady just used Cinnamon ... but when I tried, I could make the cones, but I just couldn't get them to stay alight. Hence the sawdust added in these ones. Great to be able to just 'whip' some up at home :) Thanks for your comment ♥

[@Jrock32464]

And make sure it's not from pressure treated wood.

[@MammaG]

Thanks for the tip, Josephine 🙂

[@luvthemlabs982]

Use a small funnel to form the cones

[@MammaG]

Excellent advice @luvthemlabs982, thank you 🙏

Thanks Sophie. Have fun with it 👍❣

[@blueskyhandydog5063]

have u tried using a sushi mat type setup ? or rolling papers , twist up a fat cone and remove paper and reuse till it wears out and grab another

[@MammaG]

Thank you for the great tips, Blue Sky Handy Dog, I definitely hadn't thought of using papers (or a sushi mat)!! Cheers.

[@vishnuprasad2312]

This is amazing. Thank you so much for the video. I am just wondering, what does it smell like? Do back burning cones smell different?

[@MammaG]

The actual bought backburner cones all smell a bit the same- so if you make your own you can just use your own favourite scented cones 😄

[@caralama08]

Vishnu Prasad Cinnamon obviously 🙄

[@drbharadwaj5106]

That's a very easy way to make these cones... thanks a lot

[@MammaG]

My pleasure, Dr Bharadwaj. Have fun making some :)

[@Mates10yrs]

Has anyone dried in the oven and if so for how long?

[@MammaG]

Im interested in the answer to this question, too. 😊

[@hili467]

have you tried using coconut oil to moisten the mix instead of water?

[@MammaG]

I haven't tried that myself, but that sounds like a great idea.

[@tashyafernando1374]

Instead of the saw dust can you use dried and crumbled sage Leaves?

[@MammaG]

Ooooh, that sounds lovely. Im not sure whether the lesser density of the sage leaves would make them firm enough, but to be honest, I don't know, so if you give it a try, come back and let us know how it goes.

[@tashyafernando1374]

@@MammaG of course I will 😌

[@tashyafernando1374]

@@MammaG heyyyy I tried it ! I used cinnamon, sage and just for fun and to make it a little more quantity wise instead of adding saw dust I added hamster bedding cuz I have a hamster an it works fine! You might want to make sure that the bedding is finely cut cause mine was a little big. And it wouldn’t hold as well. But the ones that did turned out awesome. Also ps: don’t judge me cause I used hamster bedding lmao I just became spontaneous all of a sudden. So yes this works so definitely try it out!! And I didn’t use any specific measurements as such and I just went with the flow. Thank you Mama G !

[@MammaG]

@@tashyafernando1374 That's fantastic. Adapting to what you have handy is a excellent way to go. Defs no judgement here! So glad to hear they worked out for you, thanks for letting us know 🌹🌹🌹

[@MammaG]

Thank you, Fran, I'm glad you enjoyed it :) 😊

[@kellydukepoo2450]

What if u want a different smell? Or can I use essential oils?

[@MammaG]

Yes, definitely. Experiment with different things. Just make sure you don't use too mutchvoil, or make the mixture too wet. You would probably use less water if you're adding oils.

[@khusi1651]

@@MammaG instead of sawdust what can we use? Any wooden powder can use?

[@MammaG]

@@khusi1651 Yes, as long as it's not treated wood ... could release toxic fumes.

[@meltdownofminds1321]

@@MammaG anything other than cinomon?

[@MammaG]

@@meltdownofminds1321 Yes, you could definitely try adding a few drops of an essential oil. Don't make the mixture too wet, though.

[@magickpotionsnature5580]

Very easy thank you BB!

[@MammaG]

Glad you found it easy to do. Enjoy 🌞

[@magickpotionsnature5580]

@@MammaG Thank you! I ended up making a few regular cones and they didn't light up. Would you happen to know what went wrong? I used xanthan gum, dragon's blood incense powder and I added some charcoal powder.

[@MammaG]

@@magickpotionsnature5580 ... I haven't used xanthan gum before, but I found this on theincensedragon.com website ... "A typical incense recipe will use just 1/8 teaspoon of binder for every 2 Tablespoons of material. Because of their strength, adding too much gum binder to a recipe can cause it to bind so strongly it can't burn." So is it possible you used too much gum?

[@aliyaaify]

Thanks you very much Nice Lady,I will surely try the cinnamon scent Cones💞.

[@sunwarz]

Great can you smell the pine sawdust?

[@MammaG]

Possibly a hint of pine, but the cinnamon scent comes through strongly.

[@eltonsilva1748]

Wonderful!

[@MammaG]

Thank you, Elton 🙏💖

[@gailskacal6509]

Can you add aroma oils instead of water?

[@MammaG]

Thanks for your query, Gail. I would try adding a few drops to a small batch first, rather than completely swapping the water for oil. Possibly even add the oil to the wood shavings, then mix in some water. See how that goes. If all good, then increase the oil in the next batch and reduce the water further ... a bit of trial and error. I'm not sure how flammable the oil would be, so best to start with a smaller amount.

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

..did you make the fountain? And how long does each cone last?

[@caralama08]

Mog-Gyver O'Neill No. And each cone lasts between 10-15 minutes.

[@jacquelinerodrigues3149]

Boa noite amiga vc poderia passar os ingredientes em português obrigada fique com Deus

[@Mates10yrs]

This video was very informative but curious about using the sawdust. Not sure how other cones are made but if you shouldn't breathe in the sawdust as you are making it why do you want to breathe it in as you are burning it?

[@Mates10yrs]

And I am still going to try your recipe as it really was a great video - meaning no disrespect - was just curious

[@MammaG]

Thanks for your query, Mates10yrs. It's more to do with not breathing in the wood particles of sawdust into your lungs when it's in its raw form. When it burns, the wood particles are transmuted into smoke, so they are no longer like tiny splinters of wood :)

[@MammaG]

@@Mates10yrs no disrespect taken 😉 it was a good question. Good luck with your endeavours.

Could you maybe add some essential oil, like vanilla for example? Love your videos by the way! Subbed :)

I would think so, Kristinadk ... I havent done so myself, but I imagine you would start with just a drop or two mixed in, depending on the strength of the scent.

[@chandanrao8691]

Wht soda is that.. Baking soda or washing soda?

[@MammaG]

Hi Chandan rao, I haven't used any type of soda - the three ingredients are: 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder 2 teaspoons of pine sawdust and 3.5 teaspoons of filtered water

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

Mamma G didn't use soda..a little dangerous to breathe in I'm thinking!

[@caralama08]

Chandan rao What video were you watching? 🤔

[@tierenyv9695]

Could I replace the saw dust with sandalwood?

[@MammaG]

Hi Tiereny v .... yes, most definitely. I only used the pine sawdust as it is what I could easily get at the time. The difference with the woods is that pine is a soft wood, and sandalwood is a hardwood .... so make sure your sandalwood sawdust is very fine, otherwise it may be difficult to light. Also, with sandalwood being a hardwood, you'll probably find the cones will burn much longer, as it is slower burning. Enjoy experimenting ♥ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_woods

[@tierenyv9695]

Mamma G Thank You so much ! This information was very helpful.

[@MammaG]

Thank you, Tiereny v ...... your comments and appreciation are much valued ♥

[@Juliealdean]

I have made incense cones with sandalwood & cinnamon, they burned brilliantly. I also added a binder and powdered frankincense

[@a.justice867]

Ah, hi- So, I'm pretty new to all of this, so if I were to make some out of vanilla extract, would I just use that and double the dust instead of water? Or is it a completely different ballgame?

[@MammaG]

Hmmm, interesting question. I haven't made any with extracts or oils, but I feel that could work well. Maybe if you mix the extract with the sawdust first, so the wood takes on the scent, then mix the water accordingly to how much is needed. If you do try it out, it would be great if you let us know :)

Ah, okay, thanks. If it works, I'll let you know and make sure to send you the recipe and procedure, Miss G. ;v;
