A glass-melting furnace (10) has an upstream end (6), a downstream end
(8), and a roof (22). The upstream end is positioned upstream of the
downstream end. A charger (32) is provided to supply glass-forming
material (30) to the upstream end of the furnace. At least one burner
(34) is provided to supply heat to the glass-forming material at the
upstream end of the furnace. An exhaust (60) is in communication with the
downstream end of the furnace, with the exhaust being positioned
downstream of the at least one burner.
