A burner design for use especially with rotary dryers is provided, in which a primary firing tube is provided with an oil body disposed proximate the burner tip portion of the firing tube, the oil body being constructed to divide an airflow into an outer portion flowing through an outer airstream passageway and an inner portion flowing through an inner airstream passageway, and to cause said inner and outer portions to intersect each other proximate the burner tip portion. The oil body is further provided with a slit opening on an inner surface thereof along a boundary of the inner airstream passageway, the slit opening being in fluid communication with a supply of fuel oil, whereby fuel oil can be delivered at low pressure at an inner surface of the oil body, whereupon the inner airstream portion will cause the fuel oil to film along the inner surface of the oil body and to be intersected by the inner and outer airstream portions to atomize the fuel oil at the burner tip. A secondary air body surrounds one or more primary firing tubes and provides air to the firing tubes for a fuel/air premix, and provides swirling air surrounding the primary firing tube at the burner tip portion.
