A piece of metal folded into a V along its length and
inverted over the burners to keep grease from falling
directly onto the flame. They're there to prevent
constant flareups.

They're called "flavorizer bars" because they still keep
grease above the heating elements to burn and add smoke
to the box.

It's marketing, turning a hassle into a hype.
