Any tips on grilling meat with a lot of marinade?

[Kgo]

Like I noticed the cold, wet marinade kills the heat on my coals.

Besides taking the meat out 1 hr before I cook is there anything else I can do?

Will a indirect cook and then a reverse sear help keep the heat on the coals?

you're not pouring the meat and marinade onto the grill are you?

pull the meat out, give it a shake to dry it off a bit, slap it on the grill

A lot of times, I will start indirect, but near the direct area to garner the heat, then onto direct for  a sear if it's dried the surface some......
Tri-tip done this way:



Held it's goo pretty good...............



  Understand completely what it is to really want all the juiciness from injections / marinades & have that blob out the coals......really becomes a case by case basis kind of a thing as to  how much, how soon, how sealed up, etc.

Starting with a slightly hotter fire area than I think I will actually need has helped a lot......
......or just a complete reverse sear........

You shake your meat around, Troy?
