Wooden Ash Catcher (18")
Wooden Ash Catcher (18") is a long, carved-wood incense tray designed to hold a single burning stick at one end while its full 18" length collects every bit of falling ash — a larger option for anyone who wants extra reach between the flame and the tray's edge.

About this piece
Rest a stick of incense from our incense collection in the carved slot and let the scent settle a room during meditation or relaxation, while the long tray beneath catches ash across its full run. At 18" long, it also makes a striking, elongated piece of spiritual home decor on its own — laid across an altar shelf or tabletop. Being natural wood, grain, tone, and finish vary slightly from piece to piece.
How to use it
Seat the pointed end of an incense stick into the carved slot near one end, light the tip, and let it burn down along the tray's length. Because the tray is longer than a standard holder, it comfortably catches ash even on longer sticks. Place it on a heat-safe surface before lighting.
Care & safety
Wipe away cooled ash with a dry cloth or soft brush after each use. Keep the wood away from standing water, which can cause warping over time. Always burn on a heat-safe surface, never leave incense unattended while lit, and keep it out of reach of children, pets, and anything flammable. Ventilate the room while burning.
Frequently asked questions
What is the 18" Wooden Ash Catcher used for?
It's a long carved-wood tray that holds a stick of incense at one end and catches ash along its full 18" length, keeping an altar or tabletop clean.
How is this different from a standard incense holder?
It's simply longer — 18" versus a typical 8"-10" holder — giving extra tray length to catch ash from longer or slower-burning sticks.
Is it safe to place directly on furniture?
Set it on a heat-safe surface such as stone or ceramic rather than directly on finished furniture, since the tray warms near the burning tip.
How do I clean it?
Wipe away cooled ash with a dry cloth or soft brush; avoid soaking the wood in water.
Will the wood grain match the photo exactly?
Not exactly — natural wood grain, tone, and finish vary slightly from piece to piece.
What pairs well with it?
A stick incense from our incense collection, plus a lighter and a heat-safe surface underneath.
