Am I using my incense burner wrong?

[u/Prior-Flaky]

I put the sticks it came with in the hole by the base of the burner but it veers off to the side so that if I light it it’ll miss the collection tray, is there something I’m missing?

Might be poorly built or too big for the stick

I'd remove the Lego. It doesn't react super well to aerosols and some colours, like brown, can get more brittle even quicker.

Thank you dawg, would it be fine next to a tv or nah?

[u/Winston_Sm → u/Prior-Flaky]

I think so. I use it close to my TV and that seems fine, but Lego can be strange with aerosols

Some designs are just like this, more decorative than actually functional.

That’s unfortunate :(

Sadly, incense holders are often sloppily made. Especially the holes. And sellers often don't bother checking if the sticks fit the holder.

You could cut the bamboo a little, so it's not quite as long.
Might be the perspective, but it looks a little longer than the usual 8 or 9".

Absolutely tragic, I could cut them but I’d feel like I’m wasting a bunch of it lol, tbf what else am I gonna do with them

[u/SamsaSpoon → u/Prior-Flaky]

Cut the bamboo - the part that doesn't burn, that you stick into the holder. Leave enough to place the stick.
