1. A burner assembly for an oven, comprising:
an intake manifold comprising an intake port, an interior chamber, and an output portion, the output portion comprising an upstream output port and a downstream output port, wherein the intake port is configured for connection to a source of a gaseous air-fuel mixture;
an upstream plurality of longitudinally extending burners, each comprising an inlet opening fluidically connected to the output portion of the intake manifold and extending away from the intake manifold along an upstream direction;
a downstream plurality of longitudinally extending burners, each comprising an inlet opening fluidically connected to the output portion of the intake manifold and extending away from the intake manifold along a downstream direction, generally opposite to the upstream direction;
an upstream plurality of gas output runners connected to the upstream output port and connected to the upstream plurality of longitudinally extending burners; and
a downstream plurality of gas output runners connected to the downstream output port and connected to the downstream plurality of longitudinally extending burners.
