At present, the following methods are the primary choices for making bamboo stick incense:

1. Traditional craftsmanship involves pouring fragrance.

2. In terms of craftsmanship, powder machinery is used to make buckets.

3. Pressure (hydraulic, pneumatic) machine strike. The method produces products with a diameter of less than four millimeters, and the grain production is generally higher than the third type, with a higher labor intensity. The bamboo stick fragrance produced by the third method only requires appropriate ingredients, resulting in a more uniform and smooth product with a uniform size. I think the following points should be noted.

1. Reasonable ingredients should be prepared based on the characteristics of different adhesive powders used. Due to the different gelatinous properties and functions of different adhesive powders, the same adhesive powder may have different origins and batches with different viscosities. Assuming that the same ratio is used, problems may arise at times. For example, simple adhesion into a ball, rotten head, rotten feet, rotten meat, etc. Making incense does not necessarily mean that the stickiness of the powder is better. The ingredients should be stirred evenly. Although some masters can use their experience to make each incense evenly spread, their mastery is not good enough. Simply melt the wood powder in the area with a lot of stickiness, and the area with a lot of stickiness will stick together, causing the fragrance to appear uneven and uneven, and the resulting fragrance will not be smooth and even.

2. Master the base powder, add meat powder, and cover the flour with the same amount of force as the base powder, followed by meat powder, and cover the flour slightly weaker. Assuming that the meat powder has a stronger adhesion than the base powder, it will have a simple and fragrant texture. If the cover flour does not have enough adhesion, it will be easy to remove the flour.

3. The choice of bamboo heart. In traditional bamboo stick making, there is a saying of "one bamboo, two ingredients, and three skills". Choose bamboo sticks of uniform size, without bamboo green or smudged bags. Bamboo sticks with bamboo green are not easy to powder on one side of the bamboo green, have poor adhesion, and are prone to rotting fragrance. The smudged bags are mostly soft and prone to insect infestation.

4. Control of draft: When lowering the water tray, the entire bamboo skewer and incense should be evenly drained. After the water tray is released, it should be inverted to allow the water to flow back evenly before adding flour, avoiding large heads, tails, and bellies.

5. Selection of Cover Flour: Cover flour should have satisfactory fineness to make it smooth and fragrant. If it is used to make color fragrance, light wood powder or bamboo powder should be selected to make the color more vivid and bright. After distribution, it should be sieved.
