Abstract: A burner head with a central tubular chamber through which air flows has an annular chamber around the tubular chamber. Gas flows forward through the annular chamber. The end wall of the annular chamber is an annulus having five openings therethrough. Five tubular nozzles extend forward and radially inward from these five openings to direct the flow of gas toward the ignition electrode and the combustion zone within the tubular chamber. Three of the nozzles are relatively close to one another along a short arc at the upper portion of the annulus. Two of the nozzles are positioned about 120.degree. from one another along the lower portion of the arc of the annulus.
