Abstract
A method for heating an elongated metal product includes heating at a first heating location with at least one burner the metal product, and conveying combustion products from the burner through at least one channel, isolated from the metal product, from the first heating location to at least a second heating location arranged along a conveyor path for the combustion products to impinge upon an opposite surface of the metal product when the metal product passes the second heating location. A device for heating the elongated metal product is also provided.

A method for heating a metal product, comprising:
- transporting the metal product along a conveyor path;
- heating a first surface of the metal product with a flame from at least one burner disposed at a first heating location at the conveyor path;
- conveying combustion products from the first heating location through at least one channel isolated from the metal product to a second heating location arranged at the conveyor path;
- and
- impinging the combustion products from the at least one channel onto a second surface of the metal product at the second heating location.
An apparatus for heating a metal product, comprising:
- a conveyor path;
- a first heating location at the conveyor path having at least one burner arranged to emit a flame to the conveyor path for contacting a first surface of the metal product;
- a second heating location at the conveyor path and remote from the first heating location;
- and
- a channel having a first end in communication within the first heating location for receiving combustion products from the flame, and extending to a second end in communication with the second heating location for the combustion products to contact a second surface of the metal product.
