Why is it faster to light four groups of incense with the same length at the same time than one group?

At the same time, four groups of incense with the same length were lit, one of which burned very quickly because of the different materials and dryness of incense. The material of incense, when making incense, the amount of incense powder and the proportion of combustion improver will all affect the burning speed. The drying of incense affects the burning speed, and the drier it is, the faster it burns.

The manufacturing process of incense

Making and burning incense has a long history. Perfume is the finished product of spices or incense. Such as fragrant slices, sweet cakes, sachets, sticks, threads and strips. Incense can emit aromatic substances when ignited at room temperature.

The production process of Buddha incense is to make fragrant bones first, and there are also boneless Buddha incense. Most incense bones are bamboo sticks, and incense bones are generally dyed. Except for grinding without water, the processing method is the same as above. A certain proportion of sawdust is added to the ground powder to facilitate combustion.

Apply elm bark water containing gum to two-thirds of the incense bone, and then spray powder on it. This is repeated for several times, so that the powder is evenly attached to the fragrant bone, and the curtain is hung to dry. At present, the raw materials of sanitary incense are mostly elm bark and wood powder, and essence, pigment and adhesive are added in proportion. Belonging to modern technology, the taste and quality of incense are not comparable to those of traditional incense.
