If you’re searching for a way to create an inviting atmosphere, an incense burner can be the ideal choice. Unfortunately, you may have noticed that your incense doesn’t stay lit or burn as frequently as desired.
Your incense may not stay lit for various reasons. Depending on the type, there could be a spiritual significance behind its incense not burning properly.
1. The Burner is Dirty
If your incense burner appears dirty, it could be a sign that it needs cleaning. Thankfully, this task can be accomplished with just some warm water and a cloth.
You can clean your burner using a solution of water and dish soap. This is an effective way to get rid of oily residue and other buildup.
Another option for cleaning your incense burner is baking soda. This will absorb the smell of incense and restore the aroma in your home.
Incense smoke contains particulate matter, gas products and many organic compounds that are hazardous to respiratory health. These pollutants can lead to respiratory issues like asthma or cancer as well as other serious health conditions.
Keep your incense burner clean and free from dirt and debris that could interfere with the burning process. Doing this helps prevent any burned pieces from contaminating either the incense itself or its environment.
2. The Burner is Blocked
Your cooktop’s burners contain holes or ports where gas passes to create flame. Over time, these ports may become clogged with debris such as drippings or food particles.
To resolve this problem, you can clean the burner. Use a small paper clip to poke at the portholes and remove any debris stuck inside.
You can also spray the burner heads and caps with a solution of water, vinegar and baking soda to remove food residue. Doing so will help restore normal gas flow.
Another potential cause for your burner not working may be the photocell. If it is damaged, dirty, or misaligned, it could prevent your burner from functioning properly.
3. The Burner is Too Hot
If your burner is running too hot to simmer food properly, that can be a real inconvenience. In this instance, try turning down to the lowest setting possible before moving onto other matters. Furthermore, many stoves come equipped with an indicator light which indicates when your burner is too hot – this is likely the simplest way to check for this issue.
If you can’t seem to locate the source of your burner problem, it may be necessary to take it in for repair. Spending the time to do this can help get your appliance up and running again quickly. Furthermore, learning some basics about your appliance helps prevent similar problems in the future.
4. The Burner is Not Enough Air
If the flames in your incense burner are yellowish orange, it could be due to a lack of air for combustion. Depending on how well-built your house is, there may not be enough oxygen flowing into your house and into the burner; modern homes tend to be more airtight than older ones and may restrict outside air intake. Furthermore, too much dryer lint or animal hair could be clogging up its blower wheel and combustion head.
To fix this problem, try replacing the spark electrode (which sends a spark to ignite gas in the burner assembly). Next, clean off any clogged orifices with a straightened paperclip. Additionally, inspect your gas supply line to see if there are any kinks or issues with it.
