Incense & Charcoal Tongs 18cm – Long Grooved for Safe Handling

Why Use Incense & Charcoal Tongs?

Incense tongs are an essential safety tool when working with self-lighting charcoal discs, which can spark, spit, and become extremely hot during ignition. The extended length provides distance from heat, while the grooved tips offer better grip and control.

These tongs are ideal for:

• Lifting and placing lit charcoal discs into fireproof bowls or censers
• Adding resin incense to glowing charcoal safely
• Adjusting incense sticks or cones during rituals
• Practising safe incense handling during ceremonies and meditation

Compared to smaller tongs, the 18cm length offers greater control and stability, especially useful when working with deep incense burners or ceremonial bowls.

How to Use

1. Use the tongs to hold a charcoal disc while lighting (never by hand).
2. Once ignited, place the charcoal carefully into a heatproof dish or smudge bowl.
3. Allow the charcoal to fully ash over before adding resin incense.
4. Use the tongs to place or adjust incense as needed during your ritual.

Safety Notes

• Always use tongs with a fireproof incense burner or bowl
• Ensure good ventilation when lighting charcoal discs
• Never touch lit charcoal or hot incense directly
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Allow charcoal and incense to cool completely before disposal
