Claim Text:
1. A combustion system, comprising: a fuel and oxidant source configured to output fuel and oxidant as a fuel and oxidant mixture; a perforated reaction holder aligned to receive the fuel and oxidant mixture across an input surface including a plurality of perforations, the perforations being configured to pass fluid through to an output surface; a heating apparatus that causes heating of the perforated reaction holder; a control circuit operatively coupled to the heating apparatus, the control circuit being configured to cause the heating apparatus to operate; and a fuel control valve configured to control a flow of fuel from a fuel source to the fuel and oxidant source, the fuel control valve being operatively coupled to the control circuit; wherein the perforated reaction holder supports a combustion reaction supported by the fuel and oxidant mixture in the plurality of perforations after the heating apparatus preheats the perforated reaction holder.
