Grilling vs Stove top cooking

Which is better grilling or stove top? That's the question that most people in my family ask.

 VS.

For both parties there are both conveniences and inconveniences.

First the conveniences:

Flavor; Grilling can be add a smoke flavor to your food; where stove top cooking is not possible to do unless you use liquid smoke, but the flavor doesn't stay intact for very long unless you let the food soak in the liquid smoke overnight.

Health; Cooking either on  a grill or stove top can be both healthy and unhealthy for the individual. By unhealthy I mean, cooking at a high temperature; where there is a chance of acquiring Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). To avoid the said diseases cook at a relevantly low temperature on either of the stove top or an out-grill.

Finally the inconveniences:

Weather; an outdoor grill can be best used during a sunny day or a time when there is no rain. A stove top can be used at the persons leisure.

Power supply; an outdoor grill for the most part are gas or wood powered; therefore no need for electricity and can be used during a blackout. A stove top for the most part are electrical. There are some stove tops that are propane powered but there are not many of them.

Cooking ware; a grill doesn't require any pots or pans to cook on. The stove top does require pots and pans to cook on; that translates more things to carry.
