Light up a piece of charcoal (fragrance-free) .Alternatively you could use an electric burner for which you won't need a coal, but generally they do not heat up enough to fully bring out the resin from the wood. After the charcoal has burnt for approximately 10 minutes, a thin layer of ash will have formed on top of it. Do not brush this off. Now place a small oud chip, on top of the charcoal. The thin layer of ash will ensure that the wood itself does not burn too much - rather the resin inside will heat up. In a few seconds, you will see that the color of the wood starts to become darker, and the surface starts bubbling. This is the resin being released due to the heat, and some smoke will start to rise now. Put the oud chip aside once the smoke stops rising from it. Do not flip the chip. While you may notice that more smoke is emitted by doing so, it will have a harsh smoky smell that pricks the nose instead of the sweet woody smell you want to scent yourself with. The smell of smoke will fade soon, and what you will be left with is a spicy, sweet, woody smell. The placed order is only Oud chips without any other accessories.
