Burn of the Day

[Mi-Kei]

Heating the Agarwood also has the advantage of savouring the delicate notes. It's more economical, and safer.

Watch the Goo🙂

I've got some nice raw Aus sandalwood large chips happening. Beautiful scent.

Just a quick question? Reading through some of the comments here and everyone is pretty much saying they are "burning" their woods. Even some woods that I thought were to precious to burn such as "sinking". Does "burning" in this context mean physical combustion or heating on and electric or kodo and charcoal? Needing a little clarification.

On coal they burn - heated, but it releases the aroma very quickly and eventually releases a burning wood smell
I quite enjoy coal, allows me to test a lot of woods quickly. Also, when I heat my wood I'll heat it for a few hours and discard the piece. I've got a large collection of "spent" woods that are good to then finish off with coal!

NK Borneo

It’s such a mixed lot with many different profiles. Today was a good one, with some nutty and pollen notes together with the fruity and oudy.

I love aussie sandalwood

Yes, me too! This stuff is so good. New Mountain in Western Aus sell rather large bags of small and big chip for a very reasonable price. I've been having trouble figuring out what to do with the big pieces as I've sorted through it and filtered and found all the bits that will grind up reasonably easy but these bigger chunks are just so hard I can't break them up at all. Eventually I just thought stuff it, I'll put them on my electric burner as they are and they are amazing! Get yourself a bag if you can.

Sinking Sri Lankan from @Habz786 , easily the best representation I've found to date.

Burning the last of my Sri Lankan wood today I’m very sad because I haven’t been able to find much Sri Lankan wood at good prices for a while now 🙁 online searching isn’t coming up with too many good results either.

Get @Habz786 ', still one of my favourites to this day and I have 4 "batches"

 

[Al Shareef Oudh]

Yes, that user goes way back. I wonder what he’s up to?

I wonder the same, we used to have some good discussions. I might have his email somewhere

Hainan Char

The shavings from the carving of these pieces should be good too.

Oudbase Ratnapura (Sri Lankan Oudh)

The piece I heated this morning was oozing with bubbling resin….nice aroma too.


Then I heated some Al Shareef Dhikrayat
Bakhoor. It puts a lot of scent in my room that lingers in the air. Nice proportioning of ingredients, it has a blended smell without any ingredient overpowering the mix.

Purple Kyara
can never get enough, elegance and heavenly aroma.

More Sri Lankan, such a unique aroma.
