I am a "Grill It" kinda guy
I just soak for an hour and on to the grill medium hot for 30 minutes or until the husks are cooked up and black. Husk and silk come of easy peasy that way. But, It is all good !!!!! TIM

No need to remove silks prior to grilling. In fact, I find they protect the kernels and provide moisture. Also, they peel off super easy and in one piece after they're grilled.

I do have one turkey fryer that I intend to use. I think what I'm going to do is break the ears in half so that more pieces come out per batch, and I'll just do batches as required. People can take more than one piece if they want and it might be a little easier to handle that way since most of these people will be standing anyway. I'll have to do a test run or two before the 4th because I'm sure if there's a way to do it wrong, I'll find it. Who would've thunk that cotc could give anyone problems?

If you going to do a lot the trash can is your best bet. If you really want to get creative husk the going pot in trasg can with new potatoes , carrots and smoke sasuage. maybe a few sweet tater . steam until done then lay a clean sheet or butcher paper on picnic table pour can out on table let people serve themselves.

I shuck them and put them straight on the grill. I like to char it up a little. It brings out the sugars and makes it really good.

I shuck, boil 5 min and then throw on the grill after I hit them liberally with some spices (what ever works well with the other things I am grilling.

Landarc brings up very good point about the freshness of said corn. That will be your munchkin in quest for perfect corn. that being said....forget all about grilling it, smoking it, yada yada. Bring a big pot of water to boil, toss ears in, bring back to boil for anywhere between 4 and 7 minutes then remove from pot. It's really a matter of personal preference. I tend to like my corn "ala dente". Some like it "well done". The fresher the better. Don't bother adding sugar or for gods sake, don't waste good Jack Daniels in the water!

A quick not to try that a relative tried. DO NOT TRY!!!
They ran a few non-soap cycles through their dishwasher. Then ran a full load of corn on the high heat, high dry cycle. The corn was just past raw. I like the trash can double boiler!

Soak in cold water for a hour or all afternoon if I remember to put it in early enough.
Don't husk or remove silk before putting on the BBQ, whether it's gas, lump on the kettle or the UDS doesn't matter when the husks char up it's done. On the UDS you want to get it before it chars. But LOVE that smoke taste the drum and hickory/mesquite gives. Silk removes easy as all get out, silicone oven gloves work wonders. So does the ov glove. |

Just remember to NEVER salt the water. Sugar can help but the salt will sieze up the starches and ruin it.

Example: http://www.ochef.com/1180.htm I love salt (and gobs of butter) on my corn but not during the cooking process. Enjoy it if you do but try it some time without. Cook two batches of corn from the same pick with and without and see what you get.
