Mount Athos frankincense is burned by placing incense pieces directly on top of a heat source in a censer. For home use of granulated incense, small, concave charcoal briquettes are used. One lights the corner of the briquette on fire, then places it in the censer and extinguishes the flame. After the glowing sparks traverse the entire briquette, it is ready to have incense placed on it.
