Abstract

An improved steady state fuel burner assembly and method of operation for a space heater wherein fuel and combustion air are initially ignited within a burner assembly with the resulting higher pressure in the burner assembly causing throttling of combustion air into the burner assembly until a preselected lower pressure is reached compatible with steady state combustion through exhaustion of initially combusted gases.
