Abstract
A forced draft burner apparatus and method providing extremely low NO.sub.x, CO and hydrocarbon emissions, while maintaining the desirable features of a nozzle mix burner. This is accomplished by injecting the fuel gas in a position that would be typical for a nozzle mix burner, while generating such rapid mixing that, effectively, premixed conditions are created upstream of the ignition point.
