I know there are bunches of grill masters here on GB. Unfortunately I am not one of those grill masters. At my house my wife does 90+% of the grilling. Hot Momma is a grill mistress but when trying to do sweet corn on the grill for the first time, she did what she never does. Hot Momma crashed and burned![:D]
So what is the best way to grill sweet corn??

Then put it on the grill for about an hour at a medium heat.
Keep turning every 10 minutes or so.
Butter salt and sometimes dry Parmesan cheese. Yum!
Works every time!!

If U leave the silk on,it gives the corn a bitter taste,ruining it,in my opinion..
I soak it to n water husk and all for an hour or two. Sometimes I add a beer or two to the water.

Never used beer but would work. However that is a lot of beer for a dozen or two.
Put it on the grill if room, or lay it on top of the coals for about 15 minutes. Wonderful taste.
don't know the cooking details, but one bbq aficionado swears by putting mayonnaise and a sprinkle of Mexene chili powder on it.
I heard of that too.
I believe its a Mexican thing mostly.
You can season to taste. I like to use cajun, lemon pepper, or a all spice like Lowrys.
Husk on, cut off the stalk (big) end about 1/2-1 inch.
Microwave 3-4 min.
Grab by tassel end (it will be hot) and the cob will slide out the bottom, leaving all the silk behind.
Wrap in aluminum foil with a smack of butter and salt.
Roll them around on the grill for 5-10 mins.
I usually check one to be sure but it is always great, I like it a little browned in places anyhow.
Did this on July 4th.

we both can't be wrong. I never read your reply, so there you have it, and I live in the corn capital.[:D]Florida corn taste like cardboard as does Kalifornia
That's what I like about this method. Besides being easy and delicious that is.[:D]

..When my son got out of basic in San Antonio, we went to a minor league ball game and that's where I tried it that way. Pretty darn good but I would have liked more salt and black pepper. It was grilled with the husk on.
..The corn up here isn't ready yet and the wife bought some from the store. I turned my nose up at it but it must have been rushed to the store. It was as sweet as I could ask for. What a surprise because store stuff has usually sat around for who knows how long.
I have done it shuck on but, anymore, I shuck it, butter and season then, wrap in foil. Put on the grill, indirect heat for bout 1/2 an hour.

I just do not use the seasoning but put some green onions and garlic in the tinfoil with the butter and corn.

Does it really matter? I've grilled corn eight ways to hell and I really don't think the effort is worth it! I now just remove the husk and boil and to my way of thinking the flavor is about the same[^]
I've grilled them 8 ways too and I think they all turned out good.
I just do not like dealing with the shucks and husks while they are hot. That is why I grill them in foil.
I just do not like them boiled as much as I do grilled or baked.

That sounds real good too.
I do not season the wife's. She likes hers just with butter.
I also questioned cooking it without the husk, but I'll do it like this from now on. Very simple, very tasty and tender.
A little butter, Garlic Salt and a wet rag to clean up the face [:D]. I tell you corn this way and ribs should be eaten alone.
Soak it in water for 30 min.
Rub it down with 50/50 mayonnaise and butter.
sprinkle some chili powder on it.
Wrap in tin foil and cook on grill for about 15 min.
its good.
Soak the corn, husk and all in water. Longer is better. toss it on the grill. Move it around quite a bit. Melt butter in an old tin coffee can, pull back the husk, (the silks will come right along with it), use the husk for a handle, dunk it in the butter salt it and chow down.
This!
Shuck it and let it get to room temperature.
Melt some butter.
Pepper the butter.
Roll the corn in the melted butter and pepper.
Wrap in foil,
Grill 5 minutes on each of four 'sides' - 20 minutes total, low heat.

We just found the greatest way to cook sweet corn. Cut one inch off the bigger end of the ear. Leave the husk on. Put in a microwave and cook 4 minutes on high. Take it out and squeeze the end, and the cob will come out of the husk, with no silk on it. Taste just like you boiled it or cooked it on the grill. No difference. I will never cook corn any other way again. Oakie
We started doing this recently. I like the simplicity of this method.
I've also grilled it in the husk (after opening it up to remove the silk and then closing it back up and adding some butter). I like the taste of grilling, but the burnt husks are problematic.
Best corn I ever tasted.
Shuck it
Wash it
Wrap it in 4 damp paper towels
Then wrap it in 4 dry towels
Put in microwave for 4 minutes
That's some good corn...and quick.
