Could someone here please point me to an authoritative on-line resource that shows specifically where incense is used in the different celebrations of the TLM? Thanks.
 
I went through the rubrics and the only two places I could find incense being used (unless I missed something) during the EF was just incensing the altar just before the introit and the gifts at the offertory. Did I miss anything?
 
Incense also appears to be used to incense the Book of Gospels.

At at the beginning of Mass to incense the altar, just before the proclaimation of the Gospel to incense the Book of Gospels and at the offertory where the gifts, any prelates and the priestly celebrant at incensed. Any other locations? Is incense carried by the thurifer during the procession and recession? Thanks.

and the priest celebrant, and (depending on the type of Mass, in some very solemn cases), the prelate who presides.
just before the proclamation of the Gospel to incense the Book of Gospels
and again, the priest celebrant/prelate as before.

To incense the Sacrament at the elevations.

It depends on local custom.
 
I did learn something though. The use of incense at the Missa Cantata was highly contested for centuries and finally cleared up once and for all (it’s allowed) in 1960…

Also used in Benedictions and certain other special events. And sometimes during Funeral Masses. There are other 1962 liturgical books that cover these ceremonies.
