An "open flame" refers to flame, usually used as a heating source, that is directly exposed to the outside elements, or often the object to be heated. Examples would include a Bunsen burner, a bonfire, or in some cases grills. The opposite would include heating elements that do not directly openly expose the flame, such as old stoves or heating elements.
