burners
Stovetop heat sources
Burners are parts of stoves or furnaces where fuel combustion occurs and flames emerge.
The term extends to any device designed to produce a controlled flame, from Bunsen burners in labs to the massive burners that heat hot air balloons.
In slang, a burner is a prepaid cell phone used temporarily to avoid being traced—I picked up a burner so they couldn't track my calls.
Someone described as a burner in sports or gaming is exceptionally fast or dominant.
