I have a 3-4 lb boneless/skinless breast which I wet brined. Can you suggest some parameters if I wanted to cook it on the grill? Thank you

I would remove it from the net when grilling. The direct grilling temperatures are much higher than the oven so unless it was specifically made for grilling I would remove it.

The best approach would be to start with direct heat to get a good crust on the outside, then move to indirect to finish it off and hit ~165° before removing and letting rest for 10 minutes.

I would try grilling it over direct heat for 5 minutes per side, then moving to indirect heat to finish, another 25-35 minutes. The key thing is temperature not time.

Thank you Mike. One more thing...it is trussed up in this elastic net that the store said I could cook it in. So, it is more of a football shape than flat. Should I take it out of the net?
