A gas turbine engine () includes a cylindrical basket () having an axis () and a single main burner assembly () disposed within the basket. A burner insert () is disposed in an annular space between the burner assembly and the basket. The insert includes a face perpendicular to the axis of the basket. A plurality of passageways () are formed in the basket, positioned proximate to and downstream of the burner insert for allowing passage of a portion of an oxidizer flow () into a combustion chamber (). A fluid flow path (), defined between a combustion chamber liner portion () of the basket and a casing () spaced radially outward from the combustion liner portion, discharges a fluid into a flow reversal region () proximate an inlet () of the burner assembly. A fuel outlet () is disposed in the flow reversal region.
