The invention relates to the technical field of gas devices, in particular to a gas burner. The gas burner comprises a rectangular chamber, a gas mesh enclosure, a U-shaped cover plate and a combustion chamber base, wherein the top of the rectangular chamber is open, the bottom of the rectangular chamber is provided with a mounting recess, the combustion chamber base is inserted in the mounting recess, the gas mesh enclosure is of a U-shaped trough structure, the front end of which is open, the bottom edge of the gas mesh enclosure is inserted between a bottom flat surface and the mounting recess, heat-uniforming rib plates are also evenly distributed in parallel on a top flat surface of the combustion chamber base, and the cover plate is mounted on the top of the rectangular chamber. Theinvention further discloses a gas steam generator, which comprises a stove body and heat exchange smoke tubes, wherein the heat exchange smoke tubes are symmetrically arranged on the left and the right in the stove body, the middle of the lower part of the stove body is provided with a long chamber type combustion chamber along a front-rear direction, and the gas steam generator further comprisesthe gas burner in butt joint to the lower part of the combustion chamber. The gas burner has the beneficial effects as follows: the heat gathering performance of the gas mesh enclosure is sufficientlyutilized, burning is stable, flame is stable, and the thermal efficiency is high.
