Excelsior Räucherkohle-Discs 33 mm – Sofortzündung, Packung mit 8 Rollen (80 Discs)

Excelsior Swift-Lite Charcoal Discs • Box of 80

This larger Excelsior box is designed for regular incense users who want the convenience of multiple rolls rather than buying individual packs.

Each box contains 8 rolls, with 10 charcoal discs in each roll.

That gives you 80 individual 33mm discs for repeated use with loose incense, resin incense, ritual blends and traditional church incense.

Charcoal for Resin & Loose Incense

These discs are especially suited to aromatic materials that cannot simply be lit directly.

They can be used with frankincense and similar resins, loose incense blends, incense powders and aromatic herbs intended for charcoal burning.

The charcoal provides the heat source beneath the incense.

Once the disc is fully established, add a small amount of aromatic material to the centre and allow it to smoulder.

Start with a small quantity and add more gradually if required.

Excelsior Charcoal

Excelsior Charcoal forms part of the Swift-Lite charcoal range and is supplied here as 33mm quick-light discs.

The larger 80-disc box offers the same format as the individual roll, simply in a more convenient quantity for regular users.

For anyone already familiar with Excelsior Charcoal or Excelsior Swift-Lite Charcoal, this format contains 8 rolls rather than a single roll.

Incense Charcoal Tablets

Incense charcoal discs are also commonly referred to as incense charcoal tablets.

Both terms describe compact pieces of charcoal used as a heat source beneath loose incense and aromatic resins.

For this product, Incense Charcoal Discs remains the clearest description because each piece is formed as a round 33mm disc.

Quick Light Charcoal

Excelsior is a quick-light charcoal designed to ignite more readily than traditional natural charcoal.

When first lit, the surface may spark or crackle as the ignition process travels across the disc.

Allow the charcoal to ignite fully before adding incense.

The surface should begin to develop a grey or ashy appearance before resin or loose incense is placed on top.

How to Use Excelsior Charcoal

Place one disc in a suitable charcoal incense burner, censer or thurible on a stable, fire-resistant surface.

If handling the disc directly, use suitable metal tongs.

Light one edge and allow the quick-lighting process to spread across the surface.

Once the charcoal is glowing and beginning to develop a grey ash layer, add a small amount of resin or loose incense to the centre.

Add more gradually as needed rather than covering the entire disc at once.

Resin Incense & Frankincense

These discs are particularly useful for resin incense such as frankincense and similar aromatic resins.

When placed onto the hot charcoal, the resin warms and releases fragrant smoke.

Begin with one small piece or a light pinch.

Using smaller quantities gives you better control over fragrance strength and smoke levels while helping the charcoal continue to burn steadily.

Church Incense & Thurible Use

Excelsior charcoal is also suitable for traditional church incense where loose resin incense is burned over charcoal in an appropriate censer or thurible.

The charcoal provides the sustained heat beneath the incense, allowing frankincense and other aromatic resins to release their fragrance gradually.

The 80-disc box can be particularly useful for regular liturgical, ceremonial or communal use where charcoal is required more frequently.

Always follow the procedures appropriate to the censer, thurible or place of worship in which the product is being used.

80 Discs for Regular Use

The larger box format is useful if you burn resin or loose incense frequently.

With 8 individually rolled packs inside the box, the charcoal remains conveniently divided into sets of 10 rather than being supplied loose.

This makes it easy to keep one roll near your incense burner while storing the remaining rolls until needed.

Burn Time

Each 33mm charcoal disc burns for approximately 30–40 minutes under typical conditions.

Actual burn time can vary depending on airflow, room conditions and how much incense is placed onto the charcoal.

The disc may remain extremely hot after the visible glow has disappeared, so allow it to cool completely before handling or disposal.

Burners, Censers & Accessories

Charcoal reaches much higher temperatures than an ordinary incense stick.

Use only a purpose-made charcoal burner, censer, thurible or heat-resistant resin burner.

Metal charcoal tongs and a small incense spoon can also make lighting and adding resin safer and easier.

Some burners use a layer of sand beneath the charcoal to help insulate the base and distribute heat.

Always follow the guidance supplied with your particular burner.

Ventilation & Safety

Burn charcoal only in a well-ventilated area.

Both the charcoal and incense placed on top produce combustion products and airborne particles.

Open a window or provide suitable airflow where practical and avoid positioning your face directly above the burner.

Never leave lit or hot charcoal unattended.

Keep away from children, pets, curtains, paper, fabrics and other flammable materials.
