The beautifully crafted Narrow Box burner has two layers: an ash catch on the bottom and a holder for short or long incense sticks on top. The top layer has an opening for holding the incense over a narrow slot which allows fallen ash to drop into the catch below. This holder accommodates incense sticks of many diameters. The sticks should be placed in the holder as horizontal as possible. Gently rolling the stick can help to position the incense. Incense sold separately.
