Place the lit charcoal on top of it and you can already burn anything, and the shell with sand will keep it safe and, by being on a stand, it will shield the heat that would otherwise radiate to the mat. If you want to smoke herbs directly, you can simply light them right in the shell itself, or use it to set aside smouldering herbs.
