A drying cylinder comprises a cylindrical shell with head members at either end and is mounted for rotation about its central longitudinal axis. A gas fired burner assembly is mounted in the interior of the cylinder and comprises a plurality of burner segments which transmit heat to the shell by infrared radiation. The heat output of the burner segments are controllable as an assembly in unison or individually.
