Yes, they're commonly known as a blown burner. 
Unfortunately if you're trying to convince a furnace 
supplier to sell you something only a pro should have 
it really helps to use the professional terminology. 
It's why I call induction burners "naturally aspirated" 
rather than "venturii" burners. That only gets you 
funny looks.

I've heard good things about ribbons and burner blocks 
though I've never seen one in use. One of these days 
though.

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
