Excelsior Charcoal Tablets

£1.75 - £10.32
Adding to basket... The item has been added

These charcoal tablets or briquettes come in a pack of 10 sealed in a foil wrapper, each tablet is approximately 33mm in diameter. You can buy these as a single tube, or a box of 8 tubes. The charcoal is coated with a special material which means that it can be lit with a lighter or possibly a match. The coating sparks across the charcoal surface and then should be left for a few minutes until it has started to heat through. These excelsior tablets are fast lighting, smoke-free, odorless, tasteless and long burning and means they shouldn't interfere with the scent of the incense. 

The charcoal does get very hot and can glow red so great care should be taken. The disc should be placed inside a heat resistant container with earth inside (if required) to shield the strong heat. Once alight the resin can be spooned gently onto the charcoal and the resin becomes an incense and the delightful aromas are released. You can then add more resin as required.

Ingredients: The charcoal used is sourced from fruit trees, mainly the apple tree. This has been found to make the finest quality of charcoal.

Environmental Information: This charcoal is made from the timber cut from fruit trees, and as such this ensures that no tree is cut down. All timber used in production are discarded cuttings collected from selected sustainable apple orchards. This process guarantees the sustainable supply of timber without any loss of forest area.

We are aware that such charcoal tablets as these have previously been the target of counterfeit products, but we would like to ensure that these are genuine.

Safety note: Never leave unattended. Do not place container on a flammable surface.

    First Time Using

    Posted by Michael Hiles on 4th Sep 2019

    I have never used charcoal blocks for incense burning before, but on watching the Holisticshop video on its use, I was happily trying it for the first time. When you light it there is a slight sparking effect which I believe, is the coating allowing faster-ignition. The sparking quickly stops and I thought that it had gone out. However, the increasing heat from it made it clear it was burning nicely. I waited about 7 minutes for it to really get going then placed some frankincense resin on it. Awesome is how I would describe it. These blocks are great for your resin burning.

    The real deal

    Posted by Sara, London on 14th Mar 2015

    There's a lot of fake charcoals in the market, and I like purchasing from here because I trust that what I'm purchasing is the real deal, and environmentally friendly.
