Incense
Well I bought my first piece of incense a few days ago. I was always curious about them. I'd see them all the time in stores and wanted to buy them but I just didn't know what to do with them?
Now that I have started to meditate on a regular basis adding incense as part of my tools is what I wanted to do. Now the first time I used them I put them in a long vase but I discovered that as the ashes burned, they dropped so I have to figure out what I'm going to use to catch the ashes. I have done a little researching online and I found the picture above. I figure I can use that as a basis for what kind of burner that I can use. My first idea is to use one of the old ashtrays that are around and fill it with sand. Of course now I have to find some sand somewhere! But in the meantime I'm going to try the ashtray part.

Here in England you can buy little lenghts of wood that curve up at the end, with a hole in it... the ashes are caught in the groove and the hole holds the incense at an angle as it burns...

To be quite honest when I was at my local grocery store I saw what they called incense burners and I didn't like them (besides not understanding how to use them) because they looked hard to figure out.
I always like experimenting with new things and may give them a try because they sound a little like what you're talking about.
