Anyone got a drop-dead lip-smakkin' way to do corn on the grill?
My son and I are broadening our horizons.... Wrapped in foil ain't doing it anymore.

First you need to leave the husk on, but remove the silk fibers. Then you need to soak in in ice cold water for a couple hours so it doesn't burn. Then you put some butter, fresh cracked pepper, and some salt on the corn and use one of the husks to tie it closed. Then stick it on the grill directly and put some applewood in there too to give it a good smoke flavor. Best corn on the cob you'll ever eat! At least I think it is.
Exactly how we do it too, Justin, but I use hickory. You have to watch for a sale though, unless you grow your own. We used to get it 5 ears for a dollar, now a buck apiece is considered a bargain.

You can't go wrong with Justin's method.

How about an easy easy method
But frozen corn on the cob
Still frozen, slather it with butter and wrap it in foil
Put it on the grill first thing, grill everything else, then pull it off the grill
Comes out tender and yummy every time. Other ways I tried, the corn came out a little tough, I liked it but the kids weren't too wild about it.
Using this method you can have corn ready to go on the grill whenever you like.
For a south of the border flavor, try sprikling a little chili powder or taco seasoning on it with the butter then grill w/husk on.
or some crab boil, depending on where you're from and how your mom-an-nem do it .
I've tried a couple of the recipes from this article (or similar recipes anyway). I actually like the one that calls for mayonnaise. Give it a shot, it is certainly different (and IMHO delicious).

If I could ever finish working on my shop, maybe I could find the time to start working in my shop.
LOML & I just got back from the Olathe sweet corn festival in Olathe, Colorado. Man they grow good corn up there!
We brought back 2 dozen ears @ .020 an ear. (picked that morning)
I’m going to try Justin's method tonight!

just throw it on there!
i've soaked it and not soaked it, and as long as it's fresh it don't matter much.
i trim the top of the silk, but just so they don't hang out and burn. actually, i think i skipped that just now. oh well. i have 7 on the grill as i write. i turn them every so often - they do take a while, i'd say 20 or so minutes at 350-400. i like mine cooked, my bf likes his crunchy, so his comes off sooner. then we butter after, and sometimes i like to throw mine back on after the husk removal and buttering to get some nice grill marks. tasty.
you can char the outside without burning the inside, and they just steam themselves. easiest thing ever.
the other thing i like about the grill is that you can leave them in the husks if they are leftover and put them in the fridge - no need to wrap them!
on a side not - STRONGLY suggest everyone try grilled carrots. get a bag, half them lengthwise, rub em down with olive oil (or veg. oil) salt & pepper them too. and gril them till tender. best carrots ever.
I just throw the corn with the husk and silks still on. The silks will minimize burning.
Once the outside is charred in 2 or 3 places, the corn is done.
Husking is easy and the silks don't stick.

ever try removing the entire husk and tossing it in a pot of boiling water for about 6-8 minutes and then drenching it in butter with some salt?
I have yet to see a reason to improve on this method....
