Rusty Cauldron

I thought it might be a good idea to have a place where we shared incense tips and ideas. I make some of my own incense, as well as using purchased items. I make two kinds; the type which can be a bit 'lumpy' that you burn on charcoal blocks, and the type which must be very fine and smoothly ground...
