American Heritage Balsam Incense Bricks

These bricks are made from concentrated natural resins rather than wood pulp or charcoal. Because they are solid, they burn much slower and cleaner, producing a more potent, resinous fragrance without the typical mess of falling ash.

Yes, because these are solid bricks, they require a heat-safe surface or a dedicated incense brick burner designed to hold the brick while it smolders. You should not place them directly on wood or flammable surfaces.

Each brick is designed for a slow, deliberate burn. Depending on the airflow in your room, a single brick will typically smolder for 30 to 45 minutes, releasing a consistent, long-lasting scent.

The scent is robust and concentrated given the resin composition, but it is designed to be clean and crisp rather than heavy or cloying. It mimics the natural, airy fragrance of a forest, making it effective for filling a room without overwhelming it.

While you can extinguish the brick by carefully removing it from the heat source, the resin composition is intended to be burned through once for the best fragrance experience. Re-lighting a partially burned brick may alter the scent profile.
