Russian term or phrase: газовая горелка, которая использовалась в качестве плитки
I have "gas jet used as a burner." Так ли?

From a newspaper article:
13 января 2008 года около 6 часов утра в бытовке произошел пожар, причиной которого стали электрочайник и газовая горелка, которая использовалась в качестве плитки.
