A secondary nozzle is provided for a gas turbine. The secondary nozzle includes a flange and an elongated nozzle body extending from the flange. At least one premix fuel injector is spaced radially from the nozzle body and extends from the flange generally parallel to the nozzle body. At least one second nozzle tube is fluidly connected to the fuel source and spaced radially outward from the first nozzle tube with a proximal end fixed to the flange. The second nozzle tube has a distal end, spaced from the proximal end, with at least one aperture therein. A passageway extends between the proximal end and the distal end of the second nozzle tube, with the passageway fluidly connecting to the fuel source and the aperture.
