Know before you buy
To use the smoker, you separate the wooden figurine at the waist and place a standard incense cone on the metal base inside. Once lit, the smoke travels up through the body and exits through the shepherd's mouth, creating a charming, traditional effect.
While it is part of the Heath Classic Red holiday collection and designed for seasonal use, its natural wood aesthetic and traditional craftsmanship make it a beautiful decorative object that can be displayed throughout the winter months.
Keep the figurine away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity to prevent the wood from warping. To clean, simply wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the hand-painted finish.
This piece is designed for standard-sized incense cones. We recommend using high-quality, natural incense to ensure a clean burn that won't leave excessive residue inside the wooden structure.
No, this is a handcrafted piece made by artisans in Seiffen, Germany, by the manufacturer Richard Glaesser. Because each piece is hand-painted, you may notice slight variations in the details, which is a hallmark of its authentic, traditional construction.
