Abstract: The invention relates to a burner system having a number of premixed burners (2), which each have one or more feed openings and outflow openings for a combustible gas/air mixture. The burner system is provided with means (11) for transferring a flame from one burner to another. By making use of such flame transfer means the burner system can be ignited at one of the burners, wherein the flame then overflows sufficiently-rapidly to the other burners in order to ignite them before a dangerously large quantity of the combustible gas/air mixture has flown out. These flame transfer means can define a flame path between the burners which can for instance be formed by an overflow pipe (12) mutually connecting the burners. The burner system can further be provided with a member (13) directed toward the flame path for the purpose of injecting the combustible gas/air mixture (M) therein. This injection member can be connected via a branch conduit (14) to a mixing chamber (5) in which the gas/air mixture is formed.
