Grilling means broiling food with direct heat. In the United States, grilled food is usually cooked on a grill, gridiron or a metal plate with flame applied from below. Grilling is usually done outdoors on barbecue grills. A skewer or brochette may link smaller portions of food in this process.
Grilling is very popular during the summer months, but becoming increasingly popular throughout the entire year.
Outside USA, the term refers to cooking directly under a source of direct, dry heat. Grillers (also called a broiler) are usually a separate part of an oven where the food is inserted just under the element. The door of a griller is normally left open during cooking to increase dryness.
In the UK, the term Grill is used, and the door is normally left closed during cooking. Not sure about other countries, but the 'Outside USA' paragraph above is not correct for UK.
