Um, the powder, if good quality, would be the powdered resin. This would
need to be neated on a charcoal, hot rock, or whatever. You might want to
look into cone or stick self-igniting incense, but the resin is so much
easier to deal with that I think it's worth it.
However... frankincense in particular produces large clouds of smoke when
burnt on charcola, much more than you would expect from an orginary
incense cone or stick.
