Incense/Charcoal Safety

-Brushing against the glowing tip of a burning incense can cause a significant burn on the skin or ruin a favorite article of clothing. 

-Always place your burner on a heat-resistant surface, such as a trivet or ceramic tile. Depending on what method you're using the outside of your censer may get very hot. 

-If you're using charcoal tablets to burn non-combustible incense always use a burner that can take the heat. Charcoal can burn at up to 1500 degrees F. -- that's very, very hot! 

-Place your burning incense in or on a stable, non-flammable, heatproof burner. Some incense burners get very hot, especially if they're not insulated. Charcoal tablets should be burned in such a container that is insulated with sand and then placed on another heatproof, non flammable surface…never place on glass or cloth or any other flammable or breakable surface.

-Make sure your burner is properly insulated so that the surface you place it on is protected from the heat that it could generate. A very hot burner can damage or discolor wooden surfaces and shatter glass table tops! 

-Ash falling outside your incense burner could discolor furniture. It may even be hot enough to cause a fire hazard. Make sure all incense ash falls on a fireproof surface.

-Always be conscious of where you burn your incense and what it might come in contact with. 

-Position your incense away from drapes, lampshades, and other flammable objects that could ignite. 

-Keep your burner away from open windows or other drafty areas. Don't put your burner next to anything that could be blown around. 

-Never burn incense inside closets or hang anything above burning incense. Hanging clothing above burning incense is a potential fire hazard. The oily smoke from some synthetic incense may also cause discoloration.

-Keep both unlit and burning incense and charcoals out of reach of children and pets. Innocent curiosity can lead to accidents and injuries.

-Burn incense in a ventilated area. We all need fresh air, so let some fresh air into the space where you're burning your incense.

-Never leave burning incense unattended. If you have to leave or you're going to sleep and your incense is still burning, put it out! 

-Make sure all your spent incense materials are completely extinguished and cold to the touch, before discarding (i.e. incense, matches, ash, charcoal). Charcoal ash can remain hot for hours.

-For stick incense, break off the glowing tip and discard it in water or just dip the tip in water. If you use a censer, turn the stick upside down and bury the burning end in the sand or ash. The incense stick can then be relit in the future. For charcoal, use a pair of tweezers to remove all the burning embers and discard in water.

-If you're asthmatic, suffer from respiratory difficulty, are prone to seizures or have had a stroke, check with your physician before burning incense. 

-If you're pregnant or nursing consult a physician before using incense. 

-Don't burn incense while under the influence of mind-altering substances. 

-Do not take internally. Incense, even if labeled herbal, is not for human consumption. It may have other ingredients added that where never meant to be ingested.
