I can't recall any documentation for the simmering-type francgrance use,
but I may have forgotten something. The documentation I have is mostly for
using dried herbs and seeds (Nutmeg, etc) as incense, esp. when placed on
a hot flatiron or rock. (I've done this with small cast iron saucepans
after I';ve dried them -- the pans- on the stove and they are still hot).
