You use the grill (the grill is the metal mesh part which holds raw food over the heating element) over the barbeque (the barbeque contains the heating element and it is composed of a pit or sunken basin usually made of metal or more rarely stone or clay or earth that is filled with combustible material that is then lit to create the heating element).

If you said;
>"I'm going to the grill,"
then this is an example of imprecise language.
It is imprecise language because people would not imagine a "barbeque" upon being told "the grill".
They would think you meant an oven grill, or salamander, or the blacktop, etc., without prior context that both parties in said conversation were already AT or going to be at a barbecque; but even there, in that situation pregnant with context, the language is imprecise, for on the part of the listener they might conclude;
>"what do you mean the grill? We're at a barbeque, is there a second cooking arrangement here I didn't know about? Are we having BOTH grilled and barbequed food here?",
perhaps quite reasonably, and that person would still be in-grounds for rational human communication.

In any regard, in both circumstances the listener would think you meant "grill" as in the cooking method in which you use a grill to hold foodstuff under a grill mesh with a drip-pan underneath it beneath a heating element. This is undeniable. It is far easier to just say what it is: "barbeque."

Because that's what it is.
It's a fucking barbeque.
