       10 . The nozzle according to  claim 9 , wherein said tube member is welded to said disc-like member.  
   
   
       11 . The nozzle according to  claim 9 , wherein said center hole in said disc-like member has a diameter that is greater than half of a diameter of said disc-like member.  
   
   
       12 . A burner, comprising: 
 a burner body including an inlet opening at one end thereof and an outlet opening at a second end thereof;    a nozzle assembly disposed in said outlet opening of said burner body, said nozzle assembly including a disc-like member having a central hole therein and a plurality of radially spaced holes spaced around a perimeter of said central hole, and a tube member disposed in said central hole, said tube member including an upstream end and a downstream end wherein said upstream end has a larger diameter than said downstream end.    
   
   
       13 . The burner according to  claim 12 , further comprising a bracket mounted to said burner body and including a pair of radially inwardly extending lips that extend in front of said nozzle assembly.  
   
   
       14 . The burner according to  claim 12 , further comprising a bracket assembly mounted to said burner body and defining a pair of pockets extending radially from said burner body and communicating with openings disposed in said burner body.  
   
   
       15 . The burner according to  claim 14 , wherein said bracket assembly includes a pair of radially inwardly extending lips that extend in front of said nozzle assembly.  
   
   
       16 . The burner according to  claim 14 , wherein said bracket assembly includes a bottom bracket and a top bracket that are connected to one another and encircle said burner body.  
   
   
       17 . The burner according to  claim 14 , wherein said bracket assembly includes a bottom bracket and a top bracket that are welded together.  
   
   
       18 . The burner according to  claim 12 , further comprising a bracket assembly mounted to said burner body, said bracket assembly including a pair of radially extending flanges with locating slots disposed in an edge thereof for locating the burner in a burner box.  
   
   
       19 . A burner, comprising: 
 a burner body including an inlet opening at one end thereof and an outlet opening at a second end thereof;    a nozzle assembly disposed in said outlet opening of said burner body, said nozzle assembly including a disc-like member having a central hole therein and a plurality of radially spaced holes spaced around a perimeter of said central hole, and a tube member disposed in said central hole; and    a mounting bracket assembly mounted to said burner body and defining a pair of pockets extending radially from said burner body and communicating with openings disposed in said burner body, said mounting bracket assembly including an top bracket and a bottom bracket that encircle said burner body.    
   
   
       20 . A method of tuning a burner for use in different applications, comprising the steps of: 
 providing an elongated burner body having an inlet opening and an outlet opening;    mounting a nozzle assembly in said outlet opening of said elongated burner body, said nozzle assembly including a disc-like member having a central hole therein and a plurality of radially spaced holes spaced around a perimeter of said central hole, and a tube member disposed in said central hole, said tube member being positioned to extend axially from a front and rear surface of said disc-like member such that an axial position thereof is predetermined based upon the burner application.
