Solid Point Burner
The solid point “craft-style” burners are extremely popular amongst beginners to pyrography, especially because they are easier to grip and heat to a pre-adjusted temperature.
Solid point pens also tend to be more affordable and easiest to transport, as all parts are included in the pen itself.
Some of these craft-style burning pens even come with a heat shield to protect your hand from getting too hot.
Solid point pens do require quite a bit of patience though, as they can take quite a while to heat up, cool down, and burn the wood altogether.

Wire-nib Wood Burner

These tools are much smaller, making it easier to hold them for longer periods of time, and also provide lots of control over the temperature.
Wire-nib wood-burning pens come with their own learning curve though, and are difficult to transport, so these are not typically recommended for the beginner.
