A combustion device has a ceramic burner (3) comprising a porous ceramic plate having a plurality of burner ports (32) defined therein, an electrically conductive layer (7) disposed on a surface of the ceramic burner where flames are produced, an electric conductor (8) disposed in facing relation to the electrically conductive layer, and an ignition detector (9) for detecting a flame current flowing through the flames (F) to detect an ignition when a voltage is applied between the electrically conductive layer and the electric conductor. The electrically conductive layer is made of an electrically conductive perovskite-type metal oxide. <IMAGE> |
