[Problems] A flat burner elongated in the longitudinal direction has, at an upper end thereof, a main burner port () and a flame retention port () positioned at least on laterally one side of the main burner port (). The flat burner uses hydrogen-containing fuel as a fuel. Flash back is prevented at the flame retention port in which the gas ejection speed becomes relatively small. [Solving Means] A lean fuel-air mixture which is leaner in fuel concentration than a theoretical fuel-air ratio is ejected from the main burner port () and a gas containing only fuel is ejected from the flame retention port (). In addition, the height, on the side of the main burner port (), of the upper end of the flame retention port (), is made lower than the height of the upper end of the main burner port ().
