A brand of fragrant incense-on-a-stick often sold in stores catering to Indian-Americans and Indians recently immigrated here, is "Nag Champa".

I admit that the Nag Champa brand rather savours of Hinduism somehow. At least it don't stink...in general I find stick incense to be overpoweringly sweet and cone incense never smells like anything in particular to me.

Ehh, the problem is that some crazy hindu may have tried to "bless" it, ala Monastery Icons. Creeper city, honestly.
On the topic of Icons, please avoid "Monastery Icons".

Monastery Icons are lame. They're like the Warner Brothers of iconographers. St. Isaac's Skete has a great selection, and Printery House actually has some nice icons, too...I was surprised.

there are hundreds of topics related to iconography, iconic media, iconographers, and icons ... which are effectively neglected when the attention of those visiting this sub-forum is hijacked by this topic.

I visited http://desertfatherincense.com/ and found it intriguing - especially since it seems to have been established by a former hippie. Ex-hippies tend to make great Eastern Christians.

Hannah, I purchased my home incense burner very inexpensively from the gift shop of a local Greek Orthodox church, but I've also seen them available through a number of Orthodox religious goods shops online. They also sell little "bite size" charcoal briquettes that fit inside them.

I find it's pretty economical because one box (or hermetically sealed "coffee bag" as the case may be) of church incense is going to last a home user an eternity, really, since you're only burning a few grains at a time, and I know in my own case I'm not burning incense every day of the week.

Of course, the advantage of stick incense or cone incense is that you don't need charcoal and a burner, but in my experience cones or sticks always smell too...college dormey, I guess.
