Grilled Corn on The Cob

[Zippo]

Here's what I'd like to try - get a couple ears of nice corn on the cob, dunk it in some water to wet down the husk, wrap it in some foil, and put it on the grill. It sounds great but can someone tell me how long it should stay on the grill (with regular turning, of course)?

It doesn't take long but depends upon how hot your fire is. Usually no more than 5-7 minutes but you may have to experiment with your grill. If you toss them into a bed of coals and rake the embers over them it will take no longer than 5 minutes. But again you may have to play with it as the larger the cob the longer it will take.

Pull the husks back to get out the silk. Don't pull the husk off. Set corn in bowl of water for several minutes to soak. Pull the husk up and rap in foil. I cook ours for about 10 minutes turning often.

You will find the time of cooking to your own taste.

You don't even need to cover with foil. Just take them out of the water, shake the excess water out and put over the heat.

Thanks, y'all. I'm looking forward to giving this a try on the campfire during our next campout.

Thank you. I'll report back my success (or lack thereof...:D).

I find the silks are easier to remove after it is cooked.
Careful of burning your fingers.

I've soaked mine and i've not soaked mine--no difference in outcome. also shucked and wrapped in foil works too. 10 minutes is ok but longer will pick up a 'charred' taste which I like. If doing it on a campfire, don't forget the potatoes and onions. wrap a potato in foil and throw in in the coals for about an hour. turn often (more or less). also, wrap a hole onion in foil. throw it i the coals to. probably 5-10 minutes. the longer the softer. THAT'S A MEAL RIGHT THERE!

Like VABob I've tried them most ways but my favorite is shucking then placing on the grill and and rotating until about 80% is lightly carmelized ,butter,salt, eat and repeat.

I can't eat corn on the cob anymore and corn is too fattening anyway...I put alot of money on my teeth so I need to take care of them and mine might fall out via eating corn on the cob...

I'm in the same boat, but like it too much to quit.
Every year for Lake Joy, I pick some up at a farm stand on the way. We don't soak or wrap, just toss it on the fire and enjoy. This was a great year for it too. Very sweet and so much of it that you could find it for $1.50 a dozen. I thought I bought enough to take home, but we went through three dozen ears in three days.
