Smoke Cleansing Charcoal and Tongs

Directions for use:
Remember to first open windows or work in a well ventilated space.
Remove one charcoal disc from sealed roll. Holding the charcoal with tongs, light the disc from beneath over candle flame or with a long match until it begins to spark. Handle carefully once lit and place the hot charcoal still with your tongs, round side down into a heat safe dish or cauldron. Allow charcoal tablet to begin to grey, then sprinkle a small amount (1/4 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon) of loose herb, incense, or resin onto the hot charcoal. The incense will burn/melt and emit smoke, releasing its scent into the air. You may add more herbs, incense, or resin once smoke subsides to prolong use.
NOTE OF CAUTION:

-Place another trivet, dish, or coaster under the cauldron to protect your furniture from potential heat damage that may occur.

-Line the bottom of heat safe cauldron with sand before placing your lit charcoal to absorb some of the heat to prolong life of the vessel.

-Never handle burner with hot contents with your bare hands.

-Never touch charcoal with bare hands once lit.

-If the ashes start to give off an unpleasant odor, scrape off any residue with your tongs before adding more material.

-The tablet should be left to burn out and cool in a heat safe vessel. Do not leave unattended while still burning
-In order to maintain freshness, opened rolls should be resealed and stored in a cool dry place. Effective storage will ensure quick lighting and a long burning time.

-Keep away from kids and pets.

-DO NOT throw hot ash into the garbage, can catch on fire.
