Fuel distribution devices for use with burners are described herein. One embodiment of a fuel distribution device for a burner can include an inlet end having a disc-like annular cover with inlet openings, an outlet end having a disc-like annular support plate with groups of distribution openings, and cylindrical inner and outer walls. These components can define a distribution channel and the device can further include fuel feeding tubes extending from the inlet openings into the distribution channel, and each of the fuel feeding tubes can divide into branch pipes extending through the distribution channel to the annular support plate. Moreover, the branch pipes extending from a same feeding tube can be in communication with distribution openings within a same group, and the branch pipes can be coiled spirally about the inner wall and connected to distribution openings at an inclined angle such fuel ejected therefrom has a tangential velocity.
