A porous, ceramic member defines both the burner and baffle. Gaseous fuel is supplied under pressure into a chamber and flows through the ceramic member and, in flowing, causes the aspiration of atmospheric air into the flowing gaseous fuel. The air-fuel mixture is ignited a short distance downstream of the chamber and the flame flows through the ceramic member and emerges from the ceramic member within the heat exchanger. The air mixing with the gaseous fuel causes turbulence and mixing of the gas and cools the flame prior to its reaching temperatures associated with the generation of thermal NO.sub.x.

The baffle for preventing the recirculation of discharged air into the intake grille of a packaged terminal air conditioner is provided with means for attaching it to the grille structure without fasteners. A plurality of flexible fingers with snap latches on the ends thereof are inserted between a pair of spaced ribs on the grille, with the fingers being flexed inwardly during the insertion process and then flexing outwardly to engage the snap latches with a front edge of the vertical ribs when the baffle is in place.
