 Best style overall May 18, 2009
Goldwave
As someone who has used all types of incense for years, and tried all types of holders/methods for burning incense, I learned that this style is by far the best choice for stick incense (and it works fine for cones too). One reviewer commented that the hole in his was misaligned and too large. However, people who buy a lot of stick incense know that the sticks vary a LOT in size/shape; and the sticks often aren't completely straight, either. I've never had a problem with these holders. The ash usually will fall in the center and, even if the ash doesn't fall precisely into the center of the holder, it's still plenty wide enough to catch all of the ash, and I certainly never had a problem with spilling when moving these holders. They are sturdy, stable, can be placed in a multitude of locations around the home, and stack with each other for storage in practically no space. If you use incense and haven't gotten any of these yet, you should definitely get a few (probably enough so that you have one for every room in which you burn incense).
 Traditional Stick Burner Inlaid Burner July 4, 2008
Benjamin Franklin (Crossville, Tn USA)
The burner is a very basic design. Made of what appears to be wood. It does the trick very well for burning incense. The reason i gave a 3/5 stars, though, is because the hole set to hold the incense wasn't cut right, and the ashes fall to the sides of the groove in the middle. This often causes a mess with ashes going all over the place. It seems like the hole is slightly too big. I guess sometimes, you get what you pay for.
