Incense ropes are made by hand in a process that involves bundling the ingredients in a special hand prepared rice paper, then rolling and twisting it into a small rope-like braided form. The rope should be burnt in a marble or metal dish,  or on an ash bed, a special incense burner.
 
This rope type of incense can produce a substantial amount of smoke, and it can quickly overpower a small room so you don't need to use much... 
 
Time of burning one rope is approx 15min.
