Tips & Warnings
Only light one stick at a time. Attempting to light more than one stick at once may cause a fire. If possible, use a candle lighter that ignites by pressing a button. This is much simpler than using a cigarette lighter or a match. If the incense stick does not remain lit, then you may want to find a lighter that produces a larger flame.
Only light the incense stick over non-flammable surfaces. Be sure to hold the incense stick at the bottom while lighting to ensure that you do not burn your fingers in the process.
