FAQ – Smoking Holders
An incense holder is a container or holder for incense sticks, cones, or palo santo. It ensures safe burning and catches the ash.
There are holders made of wood, stone, ceramic or metal – for incense sticks, backflow cones, palo santo or multi-purpose holders for various shapes.
A backflow holder is specifically designed for cones with a hollow chamber. The smoke flows downwards like a waterfall – a popular visual effect.
For Palo Santo, open, fireproof bowls or special wooden holders with indentations in which the wooden stick lies securely are suitable.
Yes, many holders bear symbols such as Buddha, Hamsa, Om symbol, or chakras. These serve not only aesthetic purposes but often also spiritual significance.
With a little skill, simple holders can be made from clay, for example, or carved from natural materials such as wood or stone.
Ceramic, soapstone, and metal are particularly heat-resistant and easy to care for. Wood has a natural look but should not come into direct contact with embers.
