Being careful not to burn curtains, bring the incense stick around your windows and doors. Where there's a significant leak, you'll see the smoke travelling sideways towards the leak rather than upwards. Sealing those leaks with caulking or weatherstripping can make a huge difference in your heating or cooling bills.
