If you are soaking I don't see how raised gid or not would make much difference. I do most stuff raised cause the rig is already in there.

I do husk on, no soak and reg direct until the husk had some char on it. I find it's pretty hard to mess up.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

Thanks!What temp? Can I still cook them at 450-500F like this? I read in the archives where some people were cooking at 250-300F. I'd rather cook at a higher temp...I'm Kristi ~ Live in FL ~ BGE since 2003.

We leave the husks on but we peel it and remove the silk and then cover the corn back up with the husk. TFJ (The Fabulous Janell) says "the secret" to good grilled corn is a room temp soak for 30 minutes, grilled over higher heat for 15-20 min. We did this for a party a few weeks back and I thought it was really good.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

I used to do the soaked husk thing but last year just started doing shucked corn over direct at 400-450f for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently.
Both work, I just find the shucked method faster and easier.Knoxville, TN

This^^^^
Both work, I just find the shucked method faster and easier.Tried several ways, but none have been better than just putting the corn on the grill (BTW, I use Grill Grates and they are wonderful). About 425 and rotate about every two minutes. The smoke flavor is awesome. -
I'm a shucker. I've tried every possible way and nothing its easier than shucking. I would also argue that it tastes better because more flavor goes into the corn.
Just shuck it, oil it, grill it hot.I finally took the plunge and bought my large Big Green Easter Egg from Roswell Hardware in Roswell, GA 03/31/2012 -
I take off the husks and silk, rub cold stick butter on it, and then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill direct, rotating every now and then. If the corn over cooks it will pop like popcorn.I've served this to many people, almost all of them say it's the best grilled corn they have ever had.Frank

It's good bacon for the money................Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
I leave on husks, silk and all. Cook direct 400-500F until there's some good char all around on the husks.
Really hard to mess up using this technique and it makes the best corn I've ever had. You might want some gloves for the husking.

I like them NAKID!! Husk, then either rub with butter or spray with PAM, salt n pepper and maybe some Tony's or Sweamp Venom. Whatever temperature I'm using to grill the otehr stuff.

Thank you for all of the feedback! I ended up soaking and cooking direct at about 450F, turning often. It was AWESOME! Slight smoke flavor and that sweet caramelized flavor that I love. The husks and silk came off without any trouble at all, too.Wright applewood bacon is the best I've eaten so far. It's all I buy until I find something else. Work, work, work...Thanks for the recipe -- I'll try it!I'm Kristi ~ Live in FL ~ BGE since 2003.

Doing corn this weekend....
-
I tried something similar to this a few months ago, and it was great. I didn't use sour cream....just the mayo and butter. Adding some cilantro to roast inside the corn while the shuck is pulled back up adds a great extra flavor, too. Takes away anything healthy about corn, but delicious.

Nueske's is the best bacon on the planet. We use Wrights most of the time because it's not $16 per lb like Nueske's is. We used to sell it (Nueske's) in our store and we got hooked on it. NYT calls Nueske's bacon "The Beluga (caviar) of Bacon" and they are right. Believe it or not though, Wrights isn't that far behind and it's less than half the price, so we use that most of the time. We still always go Nueske's on holidays and special occasions (the kids salivate for days waiting for it). If you can get it, try it. It's amazing.

I was told once not to try Nueske's because I'd never eat anything else.

It's really good. We ate nothing but for years (we were buying it wholesale). Wrights is a very serviceable sub though and I buy it at Sam's in double packs for like $4 per lb if I remember right. We still give it away to family for Christmas every year and they still line up for it. It's hilarious. Bacon? For Christmas? Thanks! Weird gift but they freaking love it. Too bad I'm paying twice as much as I was before now that I have to shop retail.

The best bacon in America comes from http://patakmeats.com/Patak_Meats/Price_List.html (Slab Bacon $3.89/lb) and I'm lucky enough to live 15 minutes from the place. We regularly see license plates from TX, VA, NC, SC, FL in the parking lot. Only problem is that there is always a 2 hour wait to get in the building.Thank you for all of the feedback! !
