Something primeval

Couldn't we also take grill to be the interface between the meat and the flame? Stovetops use pots or pans or griddles, always on a flat heated surface. Grills suspend the meat on a thick mesh of bars, with direct exposure to the flame. I think that's what differentiaates grills and stoves - direct exposure to the flame.

Here's a perfectly meaningless argument ruined by someone making sense.

direct exposure to the flame

Many of the newer gas grilles have drip bars, removing that difference.

Ok, how about this - A stove has a contained cooking area, a grill does not. With a pan or pot, things dripping off of the meat stay right there. With a grill, they drip between the bars and land on the flame or a drip bar.

How about this. It's a grill if the heat is controlled by either vents, food height, or both. Otherwise it's a stovetop.
