Abstract

A nested fiber gas burner is formed with a burner body having an inlet on one end and a burner port on the other end. A mat of fibers is formed from discrete fibers of material randomly deposited into a mold having the general configuration of the burner port. After the fibers are deposited in the mold to a depth of about 0.5 inch, they are heated to a temperature of about 1200.degree. C. for about two hours, which causes the fibers to bond together. Thus bonded, the fiber mat is secured in place in the burner port.
