Tri tip success! Thanks to all who post

Here's a tip for corn in the husk. Slap it on the grill exactly like you got it from the store. Turn it a couple of times if you feel like it, or don't. Take it off when it's done. Now here's the cool part - you don't have to shuck it. All you have to do is cut of the stem end so that you've exposed the full diameter of the ear. Then you just grab the pointy end of the ear and squeeze like you're trying to get a popsicle out. Turn the cut end towards the plate. Once it starts to move you may have to give a couple of light shakes back and forth, but it won't take much. The ear will pop out of there and leave all of the hairs behind. If the corn is cooked well the ear will come out perfectly clean. I'm talking cleaner than you can ever get it shucking by hand.

This also works in the microwave. Toss the ears in no more than two at a time and nuke them for 5-7 minutes depending on the power of your microwave, cut off the ends, and squirt the ears out onto the plate. This trick was a real boon for my kids because I grew up in the rural midwest and I've shucked enough corn for a lifetime. I HATE shucking corn. Now we can have corn on the cob all the time and I don't have to mess with shucking it. Win win. 

Double +1. When I nuke ears of corn (lord forgive me) I do 4 min per ear and just like you said, cut the big end and hold the pointy end and the ear plops out without even a piece of silk. Same goes for grilling. I like to slow roast for about 1hr and let all those starches turn to sugar. Its like nectar from heaven. 

Big believer in grilling in the husk. Never tried the cut one end off and squeeze the corn out trick though. Thought about it as I read the post and thought, "why didn't I think of that sooner?" I have been using a couple of pot holders and just undressing the corn from the pointy end while it is hot. Works well, all the silk just peels right off.

From a guy in the very middle of corn country, that method works extremely well and saves a lot of time.  We have done it that way for as long as I remember my Dad cooking corn on the cob on the old flat grill with the half hood and the Lazy Susan turning grid.  Didn't work worth a darn when Mom boiled it though. 

Back to Deacon on this one - two things - what rub did you use (looks good, like large chunks?), and second never heard of a reverse sear. I assume this is cook indirect and sear at the finish?

Thanks for the tip will definitely try that today.
