Hate to break it to you but there is nothing cool about an incense burner after you leave your teen years (heck they weren’t even cool then- but they were necessary).  They reek of hippy and are a poor excuse for home decor.  There was the long stick kind or the more “contemporary” cone version.  Both options are ugly.  Trust me on this one.. .

Here is an incense holder you can use without looking like a total throw back, the Smokehouse Incense Burner from A+R Store. In fact you will actually look cool and no one will ever mistake you for a hippy.
