  Insert the probe diagonally into the center of the meatloaf, avoiding touching the pan. Place the pan directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and bake the meatloaf until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 1 hour. If desired, pour the marinara sauce over the top of the meatloaf and bake for 10-15 minutes more until the sauce has set.
