In a combustion apparatus having an ignition means, a plurality of first swirl vanes positioned at the upstream end of a flame retention head creates a helical primary air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of the retention head that ignites into a primary flame vortex. A second plurality of vanes mounted on the inner walls of the retention head shears the outer portions of the primary flame vortex into a plurality of secondary helical flame vortexes disposed about the perimeter of the primary flame vortex. The secondary flame vortexes are opposite in rotational orientation to the direction of rotation of the primary flame vortex. Secondary air is injected into the combustion chamber at the area of shearing.
