Claim:
1. A broil burner comprising: a generally-tubular gas conduit configured to extend between a rearward region of an oven cavity and a forward region of the oven cavity, the gas conduit including two laterally spaced apart segments that define an open region between the two laterally spaced apart segments and an inlet that cooperates with a gas source to convey a combustible gas from the gas source to the gas conduit including the two laterally spaced apart segments, and a plurality of apertures through which the combustible gas exits the gas conduit to be combusted in the open region; and a reflector that extends over the two laterally spaced apart segments of the gas conduit and over the entire open region to reflect heat generated by combustion of the combustible gas in a downward direction, generally toward a central region of the oven cavity, the reflector extending an increasingly greater distance above the open region from each laterally spaced apart segment to a center of the open region.
