An infrared ray generation mesh adapted to a combustion device comprising a mesh body which includes a first surface and a second surface positioned back-to-back, and a peripheral edge which has a first part and a second part on opposite sites. Wherein, the mesh body is bent or folded integrally to form a plurality of corrugations, each of the corrugations extending from the first part to the second part; and the mesh body is flame heated to generate infrared rays. Whereby, the infrared ray generation mesh improves accumulation of thermal energy generated by open fire, such that the heating range of infrared rays is getting wider and the infrared intensity per unit area is higher to achieve better heat control.
