ABSTRACT:
A cooking appliance includes burners having ports that are aligned in a defined alignment with respect to an adjacent structure of a burner body or the cooking appliance within a piloting zone so that the adjacent structure guides the formation of a flame kernel at an outlet of the port. The adjacent structure may be ports which also form flame kernels withing the piloting zone of the burner port outlet, a structural portion of the burner body such as an extended lip protruding beyond the burner port or a separate structure such as a flame rod or other target that stabilizes the flame kernels at the burner port outlet. Such structures provide a method for improving the turndown ratio of burners by preventing lifting or backlash of the flame kernels generated at the burner port outlets by aligning the ports in conjunction with an adjacent structure within a piloting zone.
