Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (180° to 230°C).
Remove and discard the tough stems from the mushrooms and then generously brush the caps with oil. Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the mushrooms over direct heat, with the lid closed, until barely tender, 6 to 7 minutes, turning once or twice. Remove from the grill and, when cool enough to handle, cut the mushrooms into 6-millimeter pieces.

Mincing Garlic
After 45 minutes of grilling time, brush the barbecue sauce over the top and sides of the meat loaf and continue to grill over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, until the internal temperature reaches 70ºC, 40 to 45 minutes more. Remove from the grill and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Once removed from the grill, the meat loaf will continue to cook, reaching the recommended 74ºC for minced beef. Cut into slices and serve warm.
