The central passageway of the refractory block is provided with a first engagement structure and the sidewall of the extension piece is provided with a second engagement structure. Engagement of the first engagement structure with the second engagement structure connects the extension piece to the refractory block. The burner port block assembly may further include at least one ceramic fiber board having a hole therethrough disposed at the distal end of the refractory block and/or a gasket positioned between the refractory block and the extension piece.
