Burn of the Day

[Oudamberlove]

Nice chunks of wood, looks like from Bead carving.
I should get a portable heater, I was craving "the burn" at work last night

When I go to work each day, I "Swipe"🙄
When I get back from work each night, I "Burn"
Before I sleep, I swipe Sandalwood

@Mandeel AlMandeel, dun just sit there and watch the wood heat and smoke.

did you form a cone over it? close your eyes, take a whiff and let it bring you to another place.😉

 

[Mandeel AlMandeel]

I'm not sure if kinam but the wood are very high quality and so so powerful fragrant without burning just when you open the bag you will get the heavenly incense aroma...

Sharing some pics of my agarwood chips that i got from a veteran distiller years ago. Centre pieces are sinking grade wood that i had already used for brewing and drinking(hope it explains the difference in colour).

still can see some oil oozing after a few brew.

Initially this piece was half sinking so i cut it open to realise there is an air pocket within. so that explains why it sinks halfway.

This pc is what i use for brewing most of the time.

This is what it looks like after about 20-30 brews.

let's brew it one more time.

apologies. due to poor camera functions. i am unable to take a pic of the lovely pearls of oil on the surface of the hot water.

Immediately after removing the chip from hot water. it starts to recover and dries itself with the heat from the hot water.

After 30 seconds.

I am a little shocked. This time it took a bit longer to dry itself.

Perhaps after another brew it should be ready to be used for heating.

Should be the same species as Meruake although 1000km apart from Irian. This is Tarakan wood.

@F4R1d0uX, I am also not an expert at distinguishing origins of agarwood.

I see these pieces I just couldn't resist getting a bit. Die die must have some.
