You would think sand is just sand, right? But finding clean sand that has a little sparkle in it plus is environmentally-friendly took a bit of work. This sand is pretty, unobtrusive, and you get a generous little bag.
Sand is the perfect substrate for burning charcoal. Absorbs heat to prevent burning surfaces. Great to use in incense burners or even a tea cup.
Simply pour bag of sand in a cup or incense burner and set lit charcoal on top. Do check to make sure the container doesn't get too hot or simply set it on a heat-tolerant surface like a coaster.
