I don't want cold meat.

Cover it with foil, once you take it off the grill the meat continues to cook and waiting make the juices distribute back out into the meat for a tender flavorful cut of meat.

You really don't have to, but for best flavor you should, here's why. Two reasons. First, it will help the meat retain its juices. During cooking, bundles of muscle cells in the meat contract, forcing out liquid from the spaces between them. As the meat cools, those cell bundles relax, reabsorbing the liquid.
Second, resting evens out the temperature and the doneness. A rib roast is cooked when a meat thermometer registers about 120°F in the center of the roast—but the outside is much hotter. By letting the meat stand, you allow the outside and inside to come to equilibrium. The center temperature will rise by about 10 degrees after the meat is removed from the heat source no matter what cut of meat is used.

Actually, they say you should wait 5 minutes or the juices will run out if cut it immediately after cooking. I sometimes wait if it's a thick steak, but not always and i've never had a problem. If you wait 5 minutes though, the meat will still be hot.

The 10 minute resting period should not cool the meat if it does the meat has not been brought to the correct internal temperature. Meat should be removed to rest (10 minutes) once it has achieved the correct internal temperature to kill any bacteria (get a digital thermometer) then as the meat rests it will come up 10 degrees then return to the correct temp for serving. Good Luck!

If you don't you will see a large amount of the juice run out onto your plate. If hot meat is more important than juicy meat, go for it.
If it is cooked more than medium the juice is gone anyway so then it won't matter if you let it rest or not.

you dont have to wait 10 min....5 min or so is ok. But if you cut right into it when its really hot ,then all the juices will just run out and you willl end up with dry meat.

5 minutes should be enough. Cover it with foil to keep it warm, and believe it or not, the temperature of the meat rises 5 or 10 degrees while resting.

Cover it with some Foil. Wait ten minutes then crave. If you want really moist meat this is how you get it.

Just wait five minutes. At least the first bite or two should still be hot and good

i think you should just eat the meat hot that makes the most sense.
