Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for providing multiple stages of fuel. A burner assembly having a face for production of a flame and a plurality of longitudinally adjacent chambers opening to the face. A divider is provided that splits the burner chambers into two separate sections in such a manner that one section includes burner chambers greater in number than the other section. The first section can be ignited solely. Thereafter, the second section can be ignited. Once the second section is ignited, the first section may be optionally turned off.
