HOW INCENSE IS MADE
Stick incense is made by dipping "blanks" into fragrant oil, adding ingredients that make the oil burn evenly, and allowing to cure for at least 3 days.
The "blanks" may also be called agarbathies, or joss. These mainly come from India or China. The ones I use are mostly Indian and have different colors, which are coordinated with their scents. Occasionally I use ritual joss sticks, which are gold or red on the stick part, for seasonal scents like Frankincense & Myrrh.
I use a "proprietary" mixture of fragrance oils, essential oils, benzoin or gum arabic, and cane sugar in my process. I do not use DPG or Dipropylene Glycol, which is probably not really bad for you, but I like my recipe better.
The main difference between cones and sticks are how they burn. The sticks are convenient because you can easily stick them in a planter, or an incense holder. A wine glass or bowl with salt also makes a useful incense holder. The cone does not have a stick in the middle, so there is no wood smoke, it is all incense. When incense is not fully cured you may have to relight it. If it is really old it will not have a strong fragrance. In the package it has a shelf life of well over a year.
