    When I do them in foil, I normally put them on the edge of the grate for 12-20 minutes at 400 due to the fact that whatever meat is in the dinner plans requires that temp. The family actually prefers the super-sweet hybrid varieties done in foil instead of in the husk. Just be sure to put your lubricant of choice (butter, margarine, etc) in a liberal amount inside the foil. Keeping them to the sides tends to produce a more roasted result, without the scalding that direct exposure to the heat of the center can often give you.

    I like it as follows.

    No foil it's like taking a shower with a rain coat on.

    Take the cobs and cut off some of the top & silk just above the cob. I soak mine in water for 10 to 15 minutes so some water gets inside the husk & silk.

    I normally use raised gird direct, or indirect it doesn't matter. Indirect seems to take longer to cook. I turn the corn when direct and don't bother indirect.

    Dome 350° to 400° depending what else is on the egg, 400° if only corn. 20 to 30 minutes will do the trick normally.

    If the husk starts to burn or take on a brown/black charing the corn will also have a brown/black cook to it. So rotate if you have some in a hot spot.

    This is great tasting corn, we have it several days a week and sometimes just a corn on the cob dinner.

    Yummy eats.

    If you want a really good flavor you have to try it cooked with husk on.Like doing a baked potato with no skin.I sincerely believe that the husk has natural juices that give the corn great flavor.Have never done in foil before but I am sure you will get a few tips.
