Chilly night on the porch with frankincense and myrrh

These sticks are working great together: Chie Frankincense (Nippon Kodo) and Theology Series Myrrh (JapanIncense.com).

I think I prefer the Tennendo Frankincense over the Chie, but the Chie is not bad. Feels a little more rustic than the Tennendo, which I don’t mean as an insult.

I enjoy the Theology Series Myrrh on its own but it goes great with either Frankincense stick. It’s a warm, cozy, fresh baked pastries kind of deal. Compliments the fresh resinous smell of the frankincense quite well.

I’d be interested to hear what actual myrrh smells like if anyone can share. Or if anyone has recommendations on where to get a good sample as I’ll be looking for some soon I’m sure.

Couple clarifications on a subitism build

  1. How do you connect the nichrome wire to the leads of the power supply? Do you just wrap them both around the stud of a stand-off (one stand-off for positive wires and another for negative)? Does it matter if they are touching?

  2. How do you secure the burner to a ceramic dish? In his diagram, Kyarazen shows magnets between the standoffs and the ceramic dish, but doesn’t say anything about how the magnets are secured. I’m thinking super glue, but not sure if that will hold. Also rare earth magnets or the weaker ones?

Anyway, hoping to get mine built, work out any kinks, and then come back with a complete build process that has more details than what is currently out there.
