You’re probably familiar with incense sticks. Typically, the incense is in stick form, and the smoke travels upwards. Incense also comes in cone form, with the only difference being the burn time and aesthetic. The nice thing about incense cones is they keep their ashes nice and tidy, compared to incense sticks which drop their ashes anywhere they want.
The backflow incense burner is a unique and highly artistic cone burning kit. Most of them are handmade, so each product can be considered an artwork.

The incense waterfall burner is not only used to burn incense cones but can also be used for a unique decoration. With increasing artistry and creativity, the craftsmen have produced many different waterfall burner models. The current famous artefacts include the Buddhist goddess, the Buddhist novice, the dragon, the lotus.

- Keep incense out of the reach of small children or pets.
- Let fresh air into your environment while you’re burning incense.

Since dogs and cats have more sensitive noses than humans do, it’s vital that you have some air movement in the room. If the weather is nice, you can have a window cracked.
To reiterate from earlier, make sure your incense is out of reach of your pets. Pets usually don’t know better, so be sure that you don’t leave any incense on the floor.

Unlike incense sticks, the ashes of the incense cones do not fall everywhere but retain their original form. To remove the ash, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Wait for 5 to 10 minutes for the cones to burn completely and the ashes to cool down.
Step 2: Gently place the ash on a tissue, then wrap them up.
Step 3: You can spray a little bit of water if the ash is still warm.
