Incense Holder for Sticks [Anti-Ash Flying], Modern Insence-Stick Burner Holder with Removable Glass Ash Catcher, for Home Decor Yoga Meditation

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love ashes are not falling into my countertop! Ash retention:Love the ashes are contained in the container!Holds incense well:Incense stays in place!

Interesting design and works perfectly.You will have to insert the bottom of the stick when the incense ends into the slot as the stick is too small to hold the stick.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Looks and works well, it’s a little short for my incense sticks but it does the job. Its very easy to clean and I love that it traps all of the ashes inside.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Survived a 2 foots fall onto vinyl floor. It surprised me. Incense burns great in it.

This works wonderfully, but the one I got is too short for the incense sticks I use. I have to kind of burn some, adjust it, then burn the rest. It also somehow makes it to where the incense smoke is made thicker and it hangs in the air. With other burners, the smoke just dissipates. With this, you can see the wisps floating for extended periods of time. Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but I like it.

I love the design, keeps ashes contained. Glass is thin, so be mindful when using if you have pets or kids.

Complaints:Is tha’ glass delicate? YepSolution:Don’t be a ‘Lenny’. Think ‘3 Blind Mice’ here.Tha’ glass is INDEED delicate like a flower or…or like me! Yeah! Like me! A fine woman! Who you gotta’ be careful wit or I might just SNAP or..or CRACK!!!Get ta’ cussin’ profusely an…an…swingin’ an…wait..sorry.Recessed memory.Glass MaD RaTeR. We…we talkin’ bout glassss. Just—just be careful with it.Complaint:Could tha’ stick/wood size affect its use?Yeeep.Solution:Slide the ‘incense stick’ into tha’ slot just a ‘hair’ PAST…the wood. Yes. I do mean make sure a bit of the incense product ITSELF…is IN the slot. DON’T jab in. Just gently push it in just enough. To hold it (and it will hold) and Viola!Need a visual? See my photos.Packaging:Imma call BS on anyyyyybody that says it arrived broken. I say this cuz I purchased the double and those things were packed ‘snug as a slug’ in that sturdy cellulose foam. Not styrofoam which is not ‘shock absorbing’.That cellulose stuff is EXCELLENT for glass items. Since these items probably come from China—that’s a pretty consumer caring packaging.So short of throwing tha’ box off a cliff or tossin’ outta’ fast moving ‘whip’ doin’ straight 80 down tha’ freeway—tha’ packing is pretty stable. The box is lined in 1/2 in. thick cellulose foam with a lid of same material/thickness and IN the perfect fitting box.All that sounds good right? No and here’s my complaint:I don’t know if it’s the type of incense (maybe cheap product used to make) OR what but—this releases (in my opinion) an unhealthy amount of smoke into the atmosphere of the room. Like eye affecting. Cough generating.I tried 2 different qualities of incense. One being of good quality. Same.Now THAT!….I didn’t like. I don’t know if it’s because (maybe) it’s burning at a faster rate since the stick is ‘upside’ down or what but…I have never had that unhealthy feeling, ‘burning throat’ and coughing like this with incense. Of any type. I typically use the heavy ‘soapstone’ hinge receptacle or the simple ‘wood boat’ type. And yes—while burning any type of incense will in some form or fashion release carcinogens this just seems—excessively strange.It is pretty major for me but even so, it’s not worth the time of sending back. The set wasn’t expensive and I’m crafty enough to find some other use for them or—give them away. They are sleek and modern. I like them for appearance however—I won’t use them for why they were intended for.So there. There you have it folks.ThA’ MaD RaTeR…hassss rated. Fairly.I do believe.

I got these as a gift for my mom for Mother’s Day and she loved it. For someone who uses incense, this was a great gift.
