Know before you buy
This smoker is specifically designed to accommodate medium-sized (M) incense cones. Using the correct size ensures proper airflow and allows the smoke to release effectively through the figurine's mouth.
The smoker is constructed in two pieces. You can gently lift the upper portion of the shepherd figurine from the base to reveal the metal plate where the incense cone is placed.
The figurine features a natural wood finish that highlights the authentic grain and texture of the material. It is crafted to showcase the traditional woodcarving techniques used by Richard Glaesser without heavy paints or synthetic coatings.
The smoker stands at 13.4 inches tall. Given its larger scale, it is best suited for a mantel, a prominent display shelf, or a tabletop where it has enough vertical clearance to be showcased as a centerpiece.
No, the incense cones are not included with the smoker. You will need to purchase medium-sized incense cones separately to use the burner.
