How to say "burner" in Japanese

• バーナーCommon
  nounThe loanword for a burner — the part of a stove or other device that produces a flame or heat. Use it for the burner itself, as in a kitchen or laboratory.
• こんろCommon
  nounThe word for the cooking stove or cooktop itself, gas or electric; its burner sense is the cooking one, so think of the kitchen appliance rather than burners in general. Usually written in kana.
