Know before you buy
To use the smoker, carefully separate the wooden figurine at the waist. Place a lit incense cone on the metal base inside, then replace the top half of the figure. The smoke will naturally drift out through the mouth as it burns.
Yes, this model is designed to accommodate both incense cones and sticks. For the best performance and to ensure the smoke exits through the mouth as intended, incense cones are generally recommended.
After the incense has fully cooled, gently brush out any ash residue from the metal base using a soft, dry brush. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as they can damage the natural wood finish and hand-painted details.
While the smoker is stable on its tabletop base, it is recommended to place it on a heat-resistant surface or a small decorative tray. This protects your furniture from potential heat transfer or stray ash that may fall during use.
The smoker features a high-quality, hand-painted finish that is designed for longevity. To keep it looking its best, display it away from direct sunlight or extreme humidity, which can affect the wood and paint over time.
