An oxyhydrogen burner as described in this article enables the growth of crystals by Verneuil’s technique at temperatures of about 1000 °C. The powder fed to the crystal passes along a low‐temperature pathway through the flame, so that evaporation of volatile components is prevented. Low‐temperature flame fusion of superconducting Y‐Ba‐cuprate is reported.
