At present, the main methods for making bamboo stick incense are as follows:

1. Traditional handmade fragrance pouring technique.

2. Manual powder coating and mechanical bucket making.

3. Pressure (hydraulic, pneumatic) machine strike. Using methods one and two to produce products below four millimeters generally results in higher grain production than the third method, with a higher labor intensity. The bamboo stick fragrance produced by the third method only needs suitable ingredients, and the resulting product is more evenly lubricated, with a combination of size and fineness. I think the following points should be noted.

1. Reasonable ingredients should be made based on the characteristics of different adhesive powders used. Due to the different gelatinous and functional properties of different adhesive powders, the same adhesive powder may have different origins and batches with different viscosities. If the same ratio is used for all, 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, they may not have a good grasp. Simply put, the area with a lot of wood powder is melted in water, and the area with a lot of sticky powder is stuck, resulting in a large, fine, and uneven appearance of the fragrance. The fragrance cannot be smooth and lubricated.

2. Master the base powder, add meat powder, and cover the flour with a strong adhesive force. The adhesive force of the base powder should be strong, followed by the meat powder, and the covering flour should be slightly weaker. If the adhesive force of the meat powder is stronger than that of the base powder, it will briefly rot and smell. The adhesive force of the covering flour should not be weak, and the flour should be removed briefly.

3. The choice of bamboo heart. In traditional bamboo stick making, there is a saying of "one bamboo, two ingredients, and three skills". It is better to choose bamboo sticks that are evenly sized, without bamboo green or scabbard. 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 scabbard has many soft branches and is prone to insect infestation.

4. Control of draft: When lowering the water tray, the entire bamboo stick 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 sufficient fineness to make it fragrant and smooth. If it is used to make color fragrance, light wood powder or bamboo powder should be selected to make the color more vibrant and bright. After distribution, it should be sieved.
