The burner units face opposed panels and the panels are formed with radiantly refelective surfaces for re-radiation of heat from the burner units into the heating chamber. In one form, a dryer is formed with T-shaped modules, each having narrow vertical sections and top cross-sections for joining in face-to-face relation to adjacent units, with exterior access spaces between the vertical sections and with the burner units having back sides exteriorly exposed in the spaces for convenient access. In another form, an oven is formed with burner units and enclosure panels extending in a longitudinal horizontal heating chamber that is open along its top for passage therethrough of articles suspended from a conveyor.
