Always use charcoal in a suitable heat-safe burner placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not touch hot charcoal with your hands. Do not leave burning charcoal, resin or incense unattended. Keep away from children, pets, curtains, paper, bedding, loose fabrics and anything flammable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tongs themselves may become warm if held close to heat for too long. Allow them to cool before touching near the tips or storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse in a well-ventilated space and allow charcoal, ash, burner and tools to cool completely before cleaning or putting away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese tongs are designed for incense and charcoal handling, not for food preparation or cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs brass can naturally patina over time, slight colour variation, darkening or surface changes may occur with use. This is part of the character of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways use with care and keep out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClosing Thought\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ember Keeper Tongs are a small but important part of the incense ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey bring safety, practicality and a little brass beauty to the process — a simple tool for tending charcoal, resin and fragrant smoke with care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enchantress Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51079460945956,"sku":"ctBRA","price":9.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/6822\/5828\/files\/bra.jpg?v=1784344747","url":"https:\/\/enchantresscollective.com.au\/products\/the-ember-keeper-tongs","provider":"Enchantress Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
