A catalytic burner has a nozzle for forming a jet of combustible gas extending along a jet axis, a catalyst body supported offset from and immediately adjacent the axis heatable to an activation temperature at which it supports catalytic combustion, and a device like a piezoelectric crystal for igniting the jet and thereby forming at the axis a flame that heats the body. The flame is quenched after it has heated the body to its activation temperature.
