The heat is not a bad thing, as long as it's well watered. Within the brass vessel of the burner a small amount of coals or charcoal is placed. You can get little charcoal disks that give off almost no fumes and stay lit. The incense or whatever else is set on top. It's kind of grilling jesus style.
Sidenote: These kick arse if you get real incense rather than stick or cone. Some good aloe and myrrh and you'll never smoke leaves again.
