Electric burners are the modern variant of classical bakhoor burners. While classical burners use coal, electric burners use electricity to produce heat, mainly by use of a heating coil.
TYPES OF ELECTRIC BURNERS:
There are generally two types of electric burners available:
Automatic electric burners
Non-automatic electric burners
Automatic electric burners
Automatic electric burners have a thermostat dial and energy regulator that controls the intensity of the heat produced. You can increase and decrease the intensity of the heat by turning the dial up or down. The energy regulator inside the burner controls the temperature by switching the power on or off for longer or shorter intervals. The output is continuous at the highest setting.
The features of an automatic electric burner:
Allows you to control the intensity of the heat.
Automatically turns on and off so that the temperature does not go beyond the set temperature.
Allows slow burning of the incense resulting in longer usability of the incense.
No need to worry about burner coil getting damaged, as the heat automatically turns off based on the thermostat settings.
Non-automatic electric burners
How to Use Electric Bakhoor Burners?Non-automatic electric burners do not have a thermostat dial or energy regulator. They have a set temperature at which they operate and the heat cannot be manually increased or decreased. The user has to manually turn off the burner at the mains switch in order to stop the heat. Usually, most non-automatic electric burners can only be kept on for a maximum of 10 minutes at a time before the must be turned off. If they are kept on for longer, the burner will have a power outage, which may damage the burner or render it broken indefinitely.
Non-automatic electric burners are suitable for quick burning of incense or bakhoor when you don’t need to keep the burner on for longer periods, as you need to keep an eye on the burner and then manually turn it off after a few minutes. If you need to keep the burner on for longer periods, the automatic burner is the best option.
The following instructions can be followed regardless of the brand or model of burner. Most of them are similar.
