A vaporization burner for a heating device operated with liquid fuel, particularly a motor vehicle heating device, has a combustion pipe defining a combustion chamber, and an absorbent body arranged on a carrier, fuel being supplied to the absorbent body via said carrier. At least part of the carrier is not covered by the absorbent body, the uncovered area is provided with a through-opening. An ignition device is arranged behind the carrier and, preferably, extends into an ignition chamber, formed behind the carrier, by an ignition housing having a wall with an opening for supplying combustion air into the ignition chamber. Fuel, which has been vaporized by the absorbent body, reaches the ignition chamber via an opening in a portion of the carrier covered by the absorbent body and forms a combustible mixture. The mixture in the chamber is ignited by means of the ignition device, resulting in a pilot frame which extends through the through-opening in the uncovered area of the carrier. This pilot flame causes ignition of a fuel-air mixture created in the combustion chamber.
