A burner assembly for process heaters or the like comprising a burner block, primary gas jets, secondary gas jets, a flame holder, and an air register for installation in a furnace wall or furnace floor is described. The burners are characterized in that primary fuel is introduced into the primary combustion zone of the burner at an angle horizontal to the flame holder whereby the fuel induces furnace gases from the furnace into the primary combustion zone. Similarly, the secondary fuel jets introduce a secondary fuel through the burner block for consumption in a combustion zone at the surface of the burner block. The secondary fuel also draws furnace gases into the combustion zone for consumption. The design provides for intense mixing of combustion air with the fuel and furnace gases, resulting in low NO.sub.x levels.
A burner assembly comprising in combination a burner block, a flame holder within said burner block and positioned below the upper surface of said burner block to form a combustion zone within said burner block, a plurality of holes in said burner block substantially horizontally disposed therein and a primary fuel jet positioned at each of said holes for introducing a primary fuel across the face of said flame holder without substantial axial fuel injection, and means for introducing combustion air into said combustion zone;
