Incense cones are a popular way to enjoy the fragrant smoke of incense without the time commitment of an incense stick. Incense cones burn very hot, so it is important to use a heat-resistant burner and place it on a heat-resistant surface. The best incense burners for cones are usually made of metal, stone, or ceramic. Incense cone burners come in a variety of designs, including wooden incense plates, a Buddha with standing stones burner, ceramic incense burners, and brass burners. Some incense cone burners feature intricate designs, such as dragons, cloud patterns, birds, and beasts.

Metal, stone, or ceramic burners
Stone burners are also a good option, as they are heat resistant and come in various colours and designs. For example, the Natural Onyx burner is a stone burner that comes in a variety of colours. Ceramic burners are another popular choice for incense cone burners as they are heat resistant and come in various colours and designs. Ceramic burners with a large dragon design or a Buddha with Standing Stones base are some of the unique designs available.
Wooden incense holders are also available, but they are not suitable for incense cones as the heat from the burning cone can damage the wood. However, some wooden incense holders are designed with a slot at the bottom to store incense sticks. Sheesham wood, also known as Indian rosewood, is commonly used for these wooden incense holders.

Wooden holders
Wooden incense holders are a popular option for burning cone incense. They are designed with decorative pass-through cut-holes that allow the scent to rise while catching the ash. These holders are usually crafted from fine veneer timbers, such as Sheesham wood, also known as Indian rosewood.
Wooden incense plates, for example, can be used for both incense sticks and cones. They are typically around 4.75 inches in diameter and provide a natural, rustic look to your incense burning experience. The wooden plate is a simple yet effective way to catch the ash from your cone incense, ensuring that your surfaces remain clean and tidy.
Another option is a wooden incense box burner, which is a larger and more enclosed design. This type of holder usually features a slot for an incense stick on each side and a storage space at the bottom to hold extra sticks. The box design helps to contain the incense ash and also allows for easy transport, making it a great choice for those who want to enjoy their cone incense on the go.
When choosing a wooden incense holder, it is important to consider the heat resistance of the wood. Incense cones burn at very high temperatures, and the heat can cause discolouration and leave behind a hardened residue. Therefore, it is recommended to opt for a wooden holder that is specifically designed for use with incense cones to ensure it can withstand the heat and provide a safe and enjoyable burning experience.
In addition to their functionality, wooden incense holders can also be decorative pieces. Some feature intricate designs, such as brass inlaid flowers, that add a touch of elegance to your space. Whether you choose a simple plate or a decorative box, wooden incense holders offer a natural and rustic way to enjoy your cone incense.

Small plates
When using a small plate as an incense cone holder, it is important to consider the size and placement of the plate. The plate should be large enough to accommodate the cone and any resulting ash or residue. Placing the plate on a heat-resistant surface is crucial to prevent damage or discolouration to the underlying furniture.
In addition to their functionality, small plates can also contribute to the overall ambiance of the space. The visual appeal of the plate, combined with the fragrant smoke of the incense cone, can create a soothing and sensory experience. The plate's design and colour can complement the décor of the room, making the incense display a stylish and harmonious addition to the environment.
Using a small plate as an incense cone holder is a versatile option, especially when burning incense cones at home or during travel. The plate's compact size allows for easy transportation and storage, ensuring that you can enjoy the aromatic benefits of incense cones wherever you go, without requiring bulky or specialised equipment.

It measures 12" in length, 2" in width, and 2.5" in height, and can store 40-60 incense sticks.

Burners with lids
When burning cone incense, it is important to use a heat-resistant burner to avoid ruining the burner or causing discolouration and hardened residue. Burners made of metal, stone, or ceramic are best. If you are using a burner with a lid, ensure that the cone is centred so that it does not touch the sides of the lid, as cone incense requires airflow to continue burning.
There are many incense burners with lids available on the market. For example, Wild Berry Incense offers a 2" tall domed patina brass burner for cones. Lucky Incense offers a special backflow incense burner, which has a beautiful shape and is very ornamental.
If you are looking for a more natural look, Amir Oud offers a hand-carved wooden incense box decorated with brass flowers on its side walls. This burner is large enough to accommodate various sizes of incense sticks and cones and features a slot at the bottom of the box that acts as a storage space for the incense sticks. The wood used to make this burner is called Sheesham Wood, also known as Indian rosewood.
For a more classic or elegant look, Lucky Incense also offers cone incense holders with various patterns, such as cloud patterns, birds and beasts, evil spirits, and circular patterns representing the sun and the moon. These burners are made of ceramics and brass alloy and feature unique air holes.
