Abstract
A low NO.sub.x water heater burner including a burner body having opposed surfaces; and a multiplicity of spaced apart energy absorbing fins connected to at least one of the surfaces and positioned to absorb energy from burner flames generated by combustion of fuel, wherein flames generated by combustion of fuel proximate said fins are positioned such that the fins absorb energy from the flames, thereby lowering flame temperature and reducing NO.sub.x emissions.
