: I am not talking about bbq charcoal. The charcoal that I'm talking
about gives off no smoke. It only smokes if one puts some
frankincense or Myyr resin incense on the charcoal. They are made
esspecialy for the Indian brass braziers. The brazier looks like a
half of a goblet (or a bowl) with a half of a wide stem on the
bottom. Occationally whole cloves are put on the charcoal to char so
when one holds a mehndidesigned hand over it, the color will come out
even darker from the cloves and the intense heat.
: I hope this helped picture of what I'm talking about.
I have several Moroccan brass incense burners of the style described
above. They are about 8 inches high and 4 inches in diameter and
look very exotic, especially with smoke snaking out of them and a
gorgeous hennaed hand poised over!
They are $25 each plus S/H. Email me for details if you are
interested.
