Many people use incense as a relaxing scent that flows around the home. However it is less well known that it can be used outside too, using larger outdoor incense burners.
An outdoor incense works in much the same way as an indoor one, the major difference being that it is bigger. This is because the wind and larger outdoor space will carry away the scent, so more incense needs to be burnt.
Outdoor incense burners come in varying sizes, each suited to burn different amounts of incense. Burners come in sizes around 2.5″ to 8″, with the larger sizes being designed for use outdoors. Incense cones are commonly used with burners, simply light the cone and place it in the burner for an aromatic scent.
Another way of burning incense outside is with dhoop sticks. These are made of solid incense material and do not have an inner bamboo core, providing a stronger and longer lasting scent.
