Just got a new bbq grill and there is a silly little wire with a wire ring on each end that is attached with a chain to grill...What is the purpose of this wire....I know I probably will feel stupid after you tell me, but I just have to know!.....The instructions attached did not give us a clue!

may be the ring that holds a bottle or something to catch the oil that drips from the meat etc. from the bbg grill. On one bbq a catch cup was included but in the last two bbq's we had to attach our own. It hangs from a hole that is on the bottom of the grill. Hope this helps.

We have one of those also, but this is a mystery....It's like a wire that has been curled at both ends, attached by a chain to grill if that help!

Could be it is to stick a match in to light the grill if the igniter isn't working. You turn the gas on and extend the burning match near the flame ring.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those chained wires are for lighting your grill IF the ignitor fails.
Just got a grill that this 2 wks. ago & that is what it stated in the owners manual.
