Is it safe to use a glass bottle as an incense burner?

I heard that the glass can get too hot and explode. Is this true?

I would say that it is relatively safe. Glass can explode (or rather violently crack) if rapidly cooled after being heated, so you probably don't want to spill your beer on your glass incense burner. Also, incense generally doesn't burn very hot. If you're using sticks, and the smoldering tip ...

The only one I have is long and narrow, so it ashes on the table sometimes and is typically just a pain. Pictures or links appreciated!

how can i make an incense burner like this one?

http://i35.tinypic.com/2lu3mma.jpgI was thinking I could just buy a ready-to-paint bird house from Michaels, drill a hole or two at the top, and put some aluminum foil at the bottom. Will this work? It wouldn't be able to catch fire, would it?

Drill a few holes, not one or two, as the smoke has to be able to get out and the air in. Perhaps you could put some metal sheet [thin] in the bottom. Don't forget the incense [if you're using sticks] will burn down past the wood - not a good idea.

Incense burner drilled wrong?

I bought an incense burner this weekend because they were on sale... the holes are drilled at like a 45 degree angle from the outside in, which makes the stick touch the top of the burner. I'm afraid it will light the burner on fire. This isn't how it's supposed to be is it?

Get a used insense stick or break off part of an unused one and put it in the bottom part of the hole with the insense and this should prop it up some. Good luck

No, the lit end of the incense stick will not be touching the wood at all. The plain end is put in a small hole and the incense stick is 'suspended' above the groove in the bottom part. Ashes will fall on the wood and eventually the wood will get dirty looking, but doesn't that add to the look ...

It's likely it's a depiction of Shakyamuni Buddha or maybe even Medicine Buddha (if the skin is blue) holding a little jar, which represents the Dharma which is the "medicine" or solution to "suffering".That he's skinny is just a cultural depiction, more realistic since the Buddha wasn't fat, due...

How to put out an incense burner without it catching fire?

I had my incense burner going the other night, and as the flame was too big, I couldn't blow it out. So, like a logical person, I poured water on it.BAD IDEA.The compressed oxygen in that burner caused a backdraft and the whole thing burst into flames for about 30 seconds, then died. But nothing else was burned.1.) why did nothing else catch fire?2.) How can I put it out in future?(sorry I couldn't find a suitable category. if you find one, let me know and I'll re-ask)yay thank youbut where to get something non-flammable?

Cut off the oxygen supply.So basically, cover the flame with something (lol something non-flammable...)

material best for making an incense burner?

I would like to make an incense burner with an unusual design for someone for a christmas present. However i am not sure on what material is best to use. I want to make one of those burners where the liquid is in the top and a candle underneath. So the whole thing would be in the shape of a house. So im guessing the material i use would have to be heat resistant.I would also like to use a material that i preferably don't have to put in a kiln to bake. I was thinking super sculpy bt not sure whether it is heat resistant after being baked. Anyone have any ideas?????Thanks

Sculpey** (and other brands of polymer clay) can't be heated over about 350 F without burning. They're usually cured at between 230 and 275 F in a regular oven, but when heated even lower than that they'll have a particular smell you wouldn't want.**SuperSculpey is the line of Polyform-Sculpey p...

Black Build-up on Coffin/Box Incense Burner, Cleaning it?

I have one of those fancy wooden incense burners with the holes in the top for the smoke and well, I close it like I thought you were supposed to when you burn stuff. I've had it for about a year now and there's a thick black buildup of oily tar stuff on the inside, and it's starting to drip and won't come off by any sort of goo-gone or soap.Any chance of getting this stuff off and reviving my trusty ol' pal, or am I stuck with having to live with this or buy a new one?

Try rubbing alcohol that should work...if not maybe vinegar but that might leave a smell for a while.

what to use with this type of incense/potpourri burner?

A couple years back, I bought an incense/potpourri burner, but now I'm not sure what I should be buying to burn in it. I originally bought big bottles of product with it, which was more like liquid than the oils some people use in their incense burners. The part that "holds" the product can hold around 10oz. You're suppose to put a tea light candle under it. Help? I think I should be buying liquid potpourri, but all I ever find about using liquid potpourri point me to electric burners or using the stove... would a tea candle really be enough to get any fragrance?

I have one of those and I use liquid potpourri all the time. Just make sure to check that the liquid wont turn thick. It wont happen immediately, but it can happen every three or four times you use it. Replace the liquid for fresh one when it becomes thick. When I run out of liquid potpourri,...

i received incense as a gift and it came with a small burner to put them in, and it clrealy came together as a set yet the incense don't fit into the hole. is there something i need to do to make it fit, or....?

Maybe you can take a screwdriver or a similarly shaped item, put it in the hole and kind of turn it back and forth to make the hole a little bigger. I've done that with a wooden incense holder and it worked.
