Any tricks to doing it on the egg?  How long should I keep it on there?  I will be doing burgers and dogs at 450 degrees or so.  Thanks for your suggestions!

    We shuck ours, wrap in foil with some salted butter and yellow curry powder, I'd guess @450 about 25 min, keep em towards the edge and turn em a couple times while your cooking the rest of the stuff.

    Peel back the husk to remove the silk, then pull it back over the corn.  Soak in cold water for about 15 minutes prior to putting in on direct @450 towards the outside of the Egg (somewhat indirect) for 15 - 20 minutes.

    .Looks like everyone has a different method.  I do raised direct @ 400 with the corn husked.  Turn about a quarter turn every three minutes and they are done in about 12-15 minutes.  Delicious.

    Like @Duganboy says but with the husk silk removed

    Check out my post (and several other people's also) in this thread for some info that will make your corn consuming a hell of a lot easier.

    I do them with the husk on. Just throw them on at whatever temp  the egg is already at(250-500) and do them about 30 min. When you are done, cut the stem end (fat end) off and pinch the thin end and squeeze the cob out like a tube of toothpaste. There should be no silk at all left.
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

    I remove the husk and silk, then I rub with stick butter, then sprinkle with kosher salt, pepper, and garlic salt or powder.  Cook direct on all sides till slightly browned.  My favorite way to have corn, ever.

    Will have to try this technique next time. I've always pulled the silk first, but this way sounds a lot better.

    Get two coolers. In the first cooler, buy some beer and ice it down. Shuck and remove silk from corn and place in the 2nd cooler. Bring two or three quarts of water to a boil, then pour over the corn. Close the lid tight and wait thirty

    Sorry, hit the post button by mistake. Wait thirty min. and the corn will be steamed to perfection. While waiting go back to the first cooler and enjoy some adult beverages. This also frees up space on The Egg for meat and other vegetables.

    This is the way I do it too. Always works like a charm.

    Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...

    +1 for this. Cooks quickly, tastes great and the left over slightly charred corn is great for salads, salsas....etc
