Just touching it and you got your hands scented.

I actually got her chips years ago and they were a very good daily burn. Some woods just don't lend themselves to the subitism. I use every permutation for fumigation depending on the wood. Do you have a warmer? Also consider coal with a snowy white ashy top. I know it can be frustrating...And I'm still trying to get good resin out of my woods. I've taken all the advice here, warming up the wood at 10 volts, slowly increasing it. I get nothing unless it's at 17 volts, and then the wood chars a bit, so it burns, and that does not smell good. I highly recommend NOT buying agarwood from https://enfleurage.com/agarwood-chips/. Pay more to avoid disappointment.
It's an interesting one for sure. I used to burn a bit of it but it's too much for me now and always gives me a headache. Rather than a resin, like frankincense and myrrh, it produces an oil and then only when the tree has either fallen naturally from age or felled. It then needs to lie undisturbed on the forest floor for a good while before this oil forms. Of course, because of it's rise in popularity, the tree, ( like agarwood) is becoming quite sparse and rare in the wild to the point of being endangered. I believe they are creating plantations to counter this but it takes time.View attachment 48309
Lit a little Palo Santo for a change of pace today. Translated from Spanish as "sacred wood", Bursera Graveolens has been burned ritualistically by inhabitants in the Yucatan peninsula for centuries. It is part of the Burseraceae family, which includes trees that produce frankincense and myrrh. The tree is widely used in ritual purification and as a traditional remedy for various ailments, such as stomach aches, and as a sudorific and liniment for rheumatism.
The after scent is to die for, love it on the beard and clothes. this wood always surprises me, doesnt matter which piece the resin just bubbles through.![]()

This Sarawak wood from @Al Shareef Oudh is one of the best of the 15+ I have in my library. Resin comes out of every pore - I will do some macro video at some point. Pricey but by my figuring this is far less than what I would pay for a single drink, were I a drinker - and this has no hangover.
