With indirect grilling, it is never wise to oil the grate because this way oil drops into the fire with adverse health effects. If oil, you can use sunflower oil. Do not use olive oil, this already burned at low temperatures with smoke and odor and a bad taste to the meat as a result.

Marinade the meat is no problem but make sure it does not drip off the meat. If they are falling drops turned almost equal to steam which is again attached to the grid and ensures that the grid is uneven contact with the meat.
