Typically, a Stamford Incense stick will burn for approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the heat source and airflow. Experiment to find what works best for you.
Is it safe to burn Stamford Incense near furniture?
While generally safe, burning incense produces smoke, which could potentially damage delicate surfaces. Maintain a reasonable distance between the censer and any furniture – at least 12 inches is recommended.

No, these incense sticks are designed for traditional burning methods only. Using them in a diffuser would not allow the fragrance to develop properly and could damage the stick.
