Oil-burning furnace designed to normally operate as subatmospheric pressure in the combustion chamber has an open tube opening from the combustion chamber to the exterior of the furnace adjacent the burner. A normally closed heat-responsive fuse or switch is mounted adjacent the outer end of the tube, to be responsive to abnormal backflow of hot combustion gases from the furnace. The fuse or switch is connected in controlling relation to the power circuit of the burner, to shut off the burner if abnormal back pressure develops in the combustion chamber. The switch and tube are adjustable to vary the degree of sensitivity of system to back pressure.
