Portable smoke dispersal device for smudging

Abstract

A handheld smudging device comprises a housing configured for single-handed operation, a combustion chamber within the housing and configured to receive smudging material, and a spark capture screen positioned to cover an outlet of the combustion chamber and configured to retain burning particles while allowing smoke to pass therethrough. A fan assembly is disposed within the housing and configured to generate airflow through the combustion chamber and past the smudging material. A battery power source is configured to power the fan assembly. The combustion chamber may comprise retention features configured to secure the smudging material in a predetermined position. The spark capture screen may be removably attachable to the combustion chamber to allow access for loading and unloading the smudging material. The fan assembly may comprise a DC motor and fan blades configured to draw ambient air into the housing and direct the air across the smudging material.
