I accidentally bought one in store maybe a year ago and was surprised when it was so noisy. It didn’t take long to find the crackling to be soothing, like rain. The scent is great and one of only a few I can still smell much less enjoy (parosmia & anosmia for 8+ months now). It’s gentle smelling like food without being overwhelming. I couldn’t find in store and resorted to ordering online. I’m glad I I did, so I can resume my morning burns. Just wish they were a bit cheaper.
