Know before you buy
To use the smoker, carefully separate the wooden figure at the waist. Place a lit incense cone on the metal base inside the bottom half, then replace the top half of the figure so the smoke releases through the Scotsman's mouth.
This smoker is designed for standard incense cones. For the best fit and performance, use the manufacturer-recommended series, including item numbers #013110, #013230, #013240, #013250, #013270, #013340, #073510, or #074810.
Yes, this piece is crafted from wood in Germany, following traditional manufacturing techniques. Because it is a natural material, you may notice slight variations in the wood grain that make each piece unique.
The smoker stands at 4.5 inches tall, with a width and depth of 2 inches. Its compact size makes it ideal for display on bookshelves, mantels, or side tables.
While the exterior is designed to remain safe to touch, the internal metal base will become hot when the incense is burning. Always place the smoker on a heat-resistant surface and ensure it is completely cool before handling or moving it.
