Koeido's Papua New Guinea granules.
I didn't weigh the weight but probably less than 0.1g.
it's intensely sweet, making it very difficult to sense other nuances.
very flowery, reminds me of Dendrobium speciosum, aka pick rock orchid.

The maximum temperature of MHP30 is 350 Celsius, while the minimum is 100c. So I think it's safe to say it can fumigate. However, due to its small heating area(3cm x 3cm), you won't be able to throw a large piece on top of it.
The heating performance is quite nice as well. It can reach its maximum temperature from room temperature within about 3 minutes.

Shoyeido Mini Agarwood pieces for their Kodutu battery operated heater.
I find that these pieces share profiles found in their Matsu Cut/Square Cut agarwood, but typically with more resin/oil.

Sei-gen koh from kangiiten on their octagonal brass censer. The powder unburned smells like a combination of lovage/celery and classic Japanese Buddhist medicinal incense masala.
Combusting, it has a burning herb/spice mixture note. I’m not smelling any sandalwood or agarwood in the mix.
The lid greatly slows down the rate of combustion. With this particular mixture, on first impression, it slows down a little bit too much, and starts to develop a kind of smoky/creosote note so this mixture i will burn without the lid. But it’s actually pretty well designed to extend the burn time and I think if I were to put this in a room and walk away, I would leave the lid on.
I’m unclear on whether you’re supposed to add a bit of ash I need to do the stencil or just burn directly on the brass. I tried both, when it was directly on the brass. Some of the herbal mixture did not combust completely so I then added about a millimeter of ash and packed down lately to allow little airflow under the mixture.
This is a very nice piece - does not feel cheap like many other incense burners that I have encountered. It’s small - 2 inches in diameter. I didn’t read the description carefully so that was a little bit of a surprise, but I actually am glad it is so compact. It is a very nice solid quality item that I am proud to have.
Can’t wait to mix up some of my own powders. I will be trying these out over the next week or two.

The burner is designed to work with these fireproof felt pads which are included with the burner. I have two of these, but I think typically three are included, and I may have thrown one out with the packaging. When I got this, I didn’t realize the purpose of the pads and I thought they were just something to protect the table or whatever the burner was placed on from getting scorched because the burner does heat up a bit.
It definitely needs some thing as a substrate, other than the brass because the powder that I made went out.
I’m a little paranoid about flame retardant chemicals and the thought of burning the incense on a felt that doesn’t combust makes me a little uneasy. I need to ask about the composition of that- may be just fine. It feels like ordinary felt so I think it has to (?) be infused with fire retardant of some kind.
so because of this concern, and the fact that I refuse to get hooked on “consumables”, I’m trying to come up with another solution. I cast my own airgun projectiles and forage for native plants to plant my yard so I guess I’m just cheap. 🙂
A thin layer, about 1 mm of ash sufficed for the mixture that came with the burner. But for pure sandalwood powder, I could not get it to sustain a burn on the ash.
I cut some circles of wire mesh, which I hope will serve the function of the fire retardant discs (allowing air flow under the mixture). I will include some pictures.
At the moment I have a mixture of tabu, frankincense powder, aloeswood, sandalwood and Borneo camphor and patchouli leaf burning on the mesh and it seems to be working well. It went out once, but I think that’s because there was a break in the powder there.
This is a very dank mixture, because i mixed in a high percentage of Yamada Matsu AA aloeswood powder. I did not put in enough patchouly / leafy material to allow this to burn with the lid on. next time I will add more. I’m also going to try a much finer mesh for the base as soon as I find one in a store. The very fine mesh in Cannabis grinders to separate the trichomes would be perfect for this….
Anyway, I love this item. It has the heft intensity of high quality and feels like an heirloom. I am guessing the pads were well researched and allow most powders to burn. I’m not going to use these. I will have to find turn my mixtures to have the right ratio of woods, leafy material and resins so that it will burn.
Making powdered mixtures is a great way to enjoy incense making. I’m going to try to get a very fine powder from some of the cultivated kinam and see how that burns as a trail.

Jakum incense powder in the brass kangiiten I-Ching censer. This is a beautiful little object and I love that it has the trigram cutouts on the lid. The only place where it seems a little unfinished is that the edges of the stencil cutout are raw/sharp and if you’ve ever worked with cutout metal, the edges edges can have tiny burrs song the edge left over from cutting the metal. sometimes some of the powder sticks in the stencil when I lift it and I think if I deburred the edges, it would drop a little more smoothly.
I would say this is an “advanced” incense burner. It is a little challenging to use - the trail has to be skillfully formed - it will go out if there any breaks or fractures in the powder. For me at least getting the powder in there and distributed is a little bit of a messy process with some cleanup involved afterwards.
I need to look into the tools that are typically used to prepare the powder because I feel like a couple of specialized utensils could make this easier to set up. Not that it’s difficult, but it does make a little mess and require some fussing around.
The lid works so well to control burn speed. For the powders I have tried, the burn slows to a crawl. As stated in the manual, you would probably have to leave the lid off for anything with a lot of resin or resin-rich wood.
I’m proud to own this thing and I’m looking forward to figuring out the perfect ratio of herbs and wood and resin to make powders for this burner.

I have two different mixtures, one premium and one cheaper.
The premium blend is a mixed spice mixture. I don’t smell any particular predominance of any particularly high-quality materials no noticeable Sandalwood or aloeswood anyway. base is probably cedar. The cheaper one is a very mild sweet cedar aroma. There’s a kind of cedar that produces a very delicate incense in Korea. I don’t know much about it, but this has a little bit of that in it.
Honestly, neither one of them really gets me very excited but I figured they’d be a good way to test the kangiiten burner and see how it performs with different powders.
