I like to use marinades, sauces, glazes and barbecue sauce to add flavor to the meat I grill. When is the right time to brush them on the meat?

Oil, vinegar and citrus-based sauces can be brushed on throughout the grilling time. When using sugar-based sauces, such as barbecue sauce or honey, brush the sauce on during only the last 5 to 15 minutes to avoid burning.

Note: It you want to reuse a marinade (that has had raw meat in it) as a sauce, heat the marinade to boiling, then boil 1 minute before serving.
