Abstract
An incense burner comprising a base portion and a removable tapered stack portion and which includes an electric fan to disperse incense smoke. The base portion defines a fan retention cavity configured to retain the electric fan. Attached to the top of the electric fan is a vented platform containing a plurality of vents and an incense retainer aperture. An incense retainer retains an ignited stick of incense and is positioned into the incense retainer aperture. A tapered stack which includes a smoke retardant ring is removably positioned on top of the vented platform. The electric fan is switched on thereby causing the incense smoke to present itself in a pleasing manner.
