A Bunsen burner focuses a lot of heat straight upward, instead of outward. This allows you to heat something up at close range without your hand or anything else getting too hot. Most Bunsen burners have a valve that controls gas flow and adjustable vents where you can control the amount of air that feeds the flame. Bunsen burners are a safe, practical way to apply heat in a chemistry lab.
