    To place the meatloaf on the grill, hold the meatloaf on the butcher paper over the grill grate. Pull back the paper from the bottom of the meatloaf towards you as you let the meatloaf land directly on the grill grate. Remove the butcher paper completely and cook for 2 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature on 160F.
