Ceramic burner for gases, especially for use in the combustion chamber of a regenerative heat generator, such as a hot-blast stove for a blast furnace, which ceramic burner is provided with a first feed duct for a first combustion component, such as a combustible gas, and with a second feed duct for a second combustion component, such as combustion air, the first feed duct opening out into a substantially elongate outlet opening and the second feed duct opening out into at least one second outlet opening, the latter opening(s) extending essentially parallel to and downstream of the first outlet opening, a partition, which continues as far as the two outlet openings, furthermore being situated between the first feed duct and the second feed duct, in which ceramic burner at least one of the first and second feed ducts is provided with means for imparting turbulence, during operation, to the combustion component emerging through the duct(s) in question, which turbulence is such that a combustible mixture of the two combustion components is formed upstream of the end of the partition.
