Censer Filler/White Ash
Natural Censer Filler from The Incense Dragon is made from the same mineral material that major Japanese incense companies sell under the name "white ash". Although it is not an ash, it is a natural mineral material that is ideal for use in any style censer. It is perfect for "kodo style" incense burning or just daily charcoal use. Filler from The Incense Dragon gives you 2 full ounces (enough to fill 2 medium sized censers/koros or 4 small censers) at an unbeatable price. My filler is sourced from material harvested in the USA.
Your censer (incense burner) needs a proper fill material to give you its best results. Sand, salt, and other materials can be used, but for maximum utility and performance you should use a filler that can hold a shape and, most importantly, trap oxygen beneath the surface.
Have you ever had an incense cone that wouldn't burn to the end? Would you like to be able to burn joss sticks on their sides so there is no leftover little "nub" that doesn't burn? Using the right fill material can help.
