Can you use a glass bottle as an incense burner?
Using glass bottles to burn incense is a great way to repurpose something that may otherwise end up in the garbage. Glass bottles can be recycled into a unique and attractive censer. As glass is a resistant material to heat, burning incense inside the jar is entirely safe and does not result in an explosion. For optimal oxygen circulation inside the bottle, it is necessary to make a few small holes in its body, as this helps sufficient oxygen be present for the complete combustion of the incense.
The advantages of burning incense in a glass bottle
- This type of incense burner keeps all of the ashes inside of the bottle and forces the incense from the top. You will save time cleaning up the freckles that fall on the floor since they will be collected in the bottle instead.
- Burning incense in a glass bottle is extremely easy to do
- Additionally, using glass bottles for this purpose can help save money since it is not necessary to purchase additional burners or holders.
- Lastly, burning incense in a glass bottle contributes to recycling unused bottles at home and reduces waste production.
Disadvantage
