Method of heating a mineral feedstock in a firing furnace of the tunnel furnace type, having a hearth with an upstream inlet, a downstream outlet and sidewalls fitted with burners, in which method the feedstock is transported as a layer of approximately constant thickness along a treatment path in which the feedstock is heated and fired by means of said burners so as to obtain a fired product, said path being located between the upstream inlet and the downstream outlet of the furnace, characterized in that said burners comprise at least one fuel injector and at least one oxidizer injector and are positioned and oriented in such a way that their flames do not impact the layer, the at least one oxidizer injector being positioned relative to the at least one fuel injector so that the at least one fuel jet injected by the at least one fuel injector is separated from the layer by at least one oxidizer jet injected by at least one oxidizer injector.
