Using Too Much Or Too Little Sauce

A good barbecue is nothing without a good sauce, or ten. But the when's and how's of saucing and seasoning are fiddly questions. All meat benefits from a good long marination, but put a piece of meat on the grill with too much sauce? It's the recipe for a burnt, sticky mess. The trick is to drain off the excess marinade before putting it on the grill, and keep pasting on thin layers of sauce as you go, adding flavor without burning the sugars that are present in most sauces.
