How much incense should I burn normally?

Burn three sticks of incense, not just a few sticks. Some people think that the more you burn, the more fragrant it is, indicating the more respect you have for Buddha or all immortals.

Actually, it's not. The number of times you burn incense is not how many, just be sincere. Burning incense represents abstinence, sureness and wisdom, and also represents Buddhists, Dharmas and monks living in Sambo. As the saying goes, "burn three civilized incense, respect a sincere heart", so it is enough to burn three in front of the Buddha.
