"common problem that can cause burn back into the burner tube is too big of a gap where the gas comes out"
YES, exactly, you have it figured out.
"Miner's safety lamps" of old worked on the same principle.
The flame on one side of a screen or perforated metal tube couldn't pass through the small holes to light the flammable or explosive mixture on the other side.
