Incense burner apparatus and method

An incense holder assembly comprising:

• at least one base including at least one cavity;
• at least one ash collector coupled to the at least one base;
• an upper housing comprising a first end including at least one incense material support the at least one incense material support including at least one incense aperture configured and arranged to support an incense structure inserted at least partially into the at least one incense aperture;
• at least one external cavity positioned coupled to the at least one incense material support, the at least one external cavity fluidly coupled to the at least one ash collector;
• at least one channel fluidly extending from the at least one incense aperture to at least one internal cavity;
• at least two incense material support surfaces configured and arranged to at least partially support the incense structure by coupling to at least one side of the incense structure, and wherein at least one of the at least two incense material support surfaces is positioned within at least one of the at least one channel and the at least one internal cavity, and wherein at least one of the at least two incense material support surfaces is adjacent to or proximate the at least one aperture;
• and
• at least one ash aperture extending at least a partial longitudinal length of the upper housing and the at least one external cavity, and fluidly coupled through the upper housing to the at least one ash collector, the at least one ash aperture configured and arranged to enable ash to pass through the at least one external cavity and upper housing and into the at least one internal chamber.

An incense holder manufacturing method comprising:

• providing at least one base including at least one cavity;
• providing at least one ash collector in at least one ash collector layer;
• providing an upper housing comprising a first end including at least one incense material support configured to be coupled to the at least one base, the at least one incense material support including at least one incense aperture configured and arranged to support an incense structure, and wherein the upper housing includes at least one external cavity positioned coupled to the at least one incense material support, the at least one external cavity fluidly coupled to the at least one ash collector;
• providing at least one channel fluidly extending from the at least one incense aperture to at least one internal cavity;
• providing or assembling at least two incense material support surfaces configured and arranged to at least partially support the incense structure by coupling to at least one surface of the incense structure, and wherein at least one of the at least two incense material support surfaces is positioned within at least one of the at least one channel and the at least one internal cavity, and wherein at least one of the at least two incense material support surfaces is adjacent to or proximate the at least one aperture;
• and
• providing at least one ash aperture extending at least a partial longitudinal length of the upper housing and the at least one external cavity and fluidly coupled through the upper housing to the at least one ash collector, the at least one ash aperture configured and arranged to enable ash to pass through the at least one external cavity and upper housing and into the at least one internal chamber.
