Camping stoves are small and portable, generally have one or two burners, and are used like a regular stove. You can cook a small meal with pots and pans and heat a kettle of tea or coffee. They run on gas and are great for preparing a hot breakfast in the morning.  Camping grills, however, allow you to cook larger meals for a larger group. More clean-up may be required of camping grills than stoves, but they offer you much more cooking options like roasting, smoking, grilling, and baking (depending on the grill). And if you bring along a skillet, you can utilize it in much the same way you would a cooking stove.
