Burning Frankincense and myrrh at home

You don’t necessarily need an incense burner and charcoal to burn incense at home. If you are lucky enough to have an open fire, just remove a glowing ember, place it on the hearth in a heat-proof container, and put  little pieces of frankincense and myrrh on that. Keep it away from the chimney though, or all the fragrance will escape up there!
