Charcoal for brother or church incense
Liturgical charcoal is one of the religious consumables that we use the most in our churches and homes. There are many consumables that we use in our parishes on a daily basis (candles, paraffin, etc...) or on special occasions ( the Paschal Candle, Advent candles, etc...), but few of them have the capacity to transform the atmosphere as cofrade incense or liturgical incense. Simply with an incense burner (censer), a few grains of good brotherhood incense or Church incense, for example sandalwood-scented incense , and an instant charcoal tablet, we can give a special atmosphere to any celebration.
How to burn incense using instant and self-lighting liturgical charcoal?
Many of the buyers of our online store have asked us what is the best way to light the liturgical coals that we have for sale . All these liturgical coals are instant, they are lit immediately using only a lighter or a match, and self-igniting, once combustion has started, it spreads throughout the tablet until it is completely consumed.
These two characteristics make it extraordinarily easy to enjoy brotherly incense or incense for the Church quickly and safely.
The main steps to burn incense with any of the above liturgical coals are as follows:
Choosing liturgical charcoal to burn incense
In our online store, in the charcoal and incense section, or in the Lugo store, you can find a wide variety. It is important to take into account the time that we want to enjoy burning brother incense or Church incense. The greater the interval of time that we want to have the coal lit, the greater the diameter of the tablet should be.
In addition we have to consider the size of our censer and the diameter of the area to burn the incense. If we use a domestic censer it may be advisable to use smaller charcoal tablets. However, if we are using the charcoal in a parish censer or in a procession, it may be more appropriate to choose larger charcoal tablets or even use multiple tablets.

Liturgical coal lighting to burn incense
Using a lighter, matches or a household blowtorch, we bring the flame close to the charcoal tablet for a few seconds. After a short period of time we will begin to see how the coal begins to emit small sparks. At this time the materials of the liturgical coal are working to spread the combustion throughout the tablet. In this way, with little effort, the surface of the coal will burn automatically. If we want to speed up the ignition process we can move the flame over the entire surface of the coal.
