My sister in law posted these instructions for bacon wrapped corn on FB for her next visit.

This is a fairly cheap hobby when you consider the time  with family and friends and how many meals are created.

Yeah, forgot about that one......



cobettes, rolled in chile powder, wrapped, a pat of butter on top near the end......smoked is even better than straight grilled.....

I love bacon as much as the next guy, but those look kinda awkward to eat.
Still need a 22” yellow

Another vote for grilling naked corn. I've done it both ways, but I prefer the charred taste to the steamed corn that you get with the husks on.

You can get that char by burning off the husks.

Soak corn for 5 or 6 hrs in ice water.

Put on the grill in the husk direct heat until the husk turns very dark brown to black

Take off grill and remove husk

enjoy!

Peel back the husks, remove silk, replace husks. Ice bath is a must. Not only brings out the sugar, but protects the husks. Direct, turning every few min till outside layer is chard. Can sit indirect while I finish up anything else.



Yup I'll second this method.  Has worked out really well for me, and produced amazing corn every time.

late to the party...

I cut the extra off the ends, then soak em for a while.  I grill in husk over direct heat for 30ish minutes, turning a couple times.

@Hogsy Did you build that side table? Do the legs happen to fold up? Does the other side just rest on the handle?

 @jdefran yes the table folds up and clips onto the front handle, they were made by weber in the 80's/90's. Let me know if you want some more info on them

Soaked in cold water, thrown on the grill un-shucked.  cook indirect until everything else is done.  Pull it off and the husk and silk slip right off. 
I used to wrap in tin foil after soaking, but I've found it has an earthier, more BBQ flavor without the foil.

This is pretty much how I do them also.
Soaked in cold water with some salt ... put on the grill closer to the fire than the meat (I do the water for extra moisture and anti-burn).
I like my corn crisp, not mushy.
I could see gettin' a little naked to get a little char going.  Maybe next time.
