Burn of the Day

[-Renton-]

Plum Blossoms In The Wind - Wild hon-Kyara. Yes I know my heater is a little dirty, its kinda stained for some reason, if anyone can give me tips on how to clean it without water that would be great, would 95% alcohol be okay for the heater and would it clean it easily?

Sweet fruits, sour fruits in an airy ocean breeze... fruits in the wind. Thick sour fermented fruits, some creaminess, sour, sweet, red cherries. Plum, flowers and tamarind.

From experience with other non-kyara intended ceramic heating surfaces, 99% alcohol on a q-tip should be helpful. I just would be careful and apply a light amount on the q-tip. You’d want to avoid getting any of the liquid on the electronics if possible.

Will 95% be good enough? Thats all I can get even online in Scotland. Like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18494031...Kz_yOncldfVFJ5ucaTMj_ZztHXnmWJUYaAiWPEALw_wcB

I enjoy trying slivers from a chip, till I try all the chips in the batch😊….. it’s fun.

Today, sweet resinous, mildly floral, and much more, but I was distracted by other things to take note.

90% isopropyl alcohol should work fine I would think - should be able to get that at any supermarket or drug store.

I really want to try some of this. Is it resinous enough that small pieces would work on a ceramic? Or is it really for subs only?

My Kodachi has a ceramic heating element, works just fine with this wood. “Some” of the Pursat have a thick layer of resin, near sinking.

I always use my Dremel rotary tool to clean the underside of char pieces, so that what I heat is mostly the resinated wood. The only exception is when I heat Maunamoku Nha Trang Char, the only char I’ve come across which is carved on both sides.

Sweet, great tip with the Dremel as well.

Crib smelling like Cinnabon 🤤

Omani frankincense.
left - black, right - white

black frankincense smells fruiter and sweeter whereas white frankincense smells lighter, coniferous.

Last night received my sinking woods from @mesOUD Beautiful specimens as always, I am always overjoyed when I have some new oils/woods arriving, but even more so when it’s from brother Mehmet.

Won’t go too deep into notes as I’m still working out the kinks on using the subitism.

1st. Sinking Pursat - sour, creamy, tobacco, spicy

2nd. Sinking Tarakan - creamy, sweet, cheesy, animalic

3rd. Sinking Maluku - my favorite and most unique of all the woods I’ve tried so far. Wet, powdery, petrichor, cacao, leather, chlorine gas, cornflakes

4th. Finished the night with the remaining shavings of my @AlHindOud mysore root and myoudshop Papua New Guinea bead scraps on higher heat to squeeze out any remaining scent.

Zen😌

You gotta hit that green CK it's one Mehmet & myself enjoy. Ppl shit on cult. kyara since it's not complex & lacks the spiritual nature but it sure smells fucking delicious & comforting af ! For the price who gives a shit it's just another guilty free enjoyable everyday burn. It needs to stop being held up to wild/old kyara & just be enjoyed for what it is.

Yea they were pretty much done but it's the flash bro lol Plus these are sinking but the resin doesn't pile up like other sinking woods I noticed , it sweats a bit & then dries up.

I don't mean to tell you what you may already know but you can get better burns by splitting a piece like that up into slabs that can lay flat.

And Ck is a miracle, cracks me up to hear folks hating on CK... makes me realize how young the crowd here is to be honest. Hard to imagine taking it for granted in light of the last 30 years of collecting 🙂

Best way to use CK is slivers (more than wild ofc) on the electric kinam heater 😀

 

[Mr.P]

Slabs, slivers, rice grains, mosquito legs, shavings, splinters, granules, powders work great depending on the specifics of wood and heater.
