The invention relates to a method for controlling a burner (1) supplied with a gaseous fuel, a property (P) of which fuel has a value (PA) that varies between a minimum value (PI) and a maximum value (P2), the burner comprising a set of fuel injectors (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) suitable for being supplied with fuel, characterised in that the method comprises a step of selecting one or more injectors (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) to be supplied with fuel depending on the value (PA) of the property (P) of the fuel. The scale between the minimum value and the maximum value is divided into a number of value ranges, each of these value ranges being associated with one or more fuel injectors. The method comprises a step of determining the value range to which the value (PA) of the property (P) of the fuel belongs, followed by a step of supplying fuel to the one or more fuel injectors associated with this value range, the one or more other injectors not being supplied with fuel.
