Abstract A method of at least partially burning a hydrocarbon and/or car- bonaceous fuel, comprising at least partially burning the fuel in a flame provided by a burner, and laterally confining at least part (e.g. at least 50%) of the length of the flame (including the largest cross-sectional dimensions thereof) in a combustion chamber having cross-sectional dimensions smaller than those of the flame when not laterally confined in the combustion chamber so as to reduce the cross-sectional dimensions of the confined part of the flame by an amount of from 1.00 to 6.35 cms, but by less than 20% of the uncon- fined cross-sectional dimensions. The lateral confinement of part of the flame by the combustion chamber causes reactive flame species to be reflected and deflected back into the flame (rather than being lost therefrom or quenched) by the hot walls of the combustion chamber thereby reducing the amount of carbon and/or smoke in the gases leaving the combustion chamber. Further improvements may be obtained by baffles in the laterally confined part of the flame which promote flame species recirculation.
