I saw on Test Kitchen where they didn't clean the corn , just soaked it in freshwater intact .
Cut the tassel end off and grill . When done they cross cut the stalk end and pull everything towards the tassel end . Most everything comes right out / off .

I've been thinking about adding some seasoning to the soak water .

.............................
About what temp did and roughly how long did you cook the corn?

I've gone to cooking corn in the microwave and have been known to shuck and then finish them on the grill for some char but would like a starting point for cooking in the shuck on the grill the entire time.

TIA
 
About what temp did and roughly how long did you cook the corn?
I'll guess around 300 . Usually done around the 30 minute mark .
Key to it is the temp of the corn itself . Between 150 and 170 for the finish temp of the corn is perfect . Over 170 starts to convert and break down starch / pectin / sugar ,,, or something like that . Can't really check the temp doing it on the grill , but if you soak it for 30 minutes or so , then go on the grill over a low burner , or if using wood / charcoal I start indirect . Just keep an eye on it , and move around as needed .
When it starts smelling like corn , it's getting close . I give it a squeeze to see when it's ready .

If boiling , clean the ears . Boil the water . When it comes to a boil , move the pot off the heat and turn the burner off . Add up to 6 ears , lid on and wait 10 minutes or so .

Nice work, that's how I've always cooked my corn. Learned that way working at the MN State Fair corn roast stand as my first job. Usually grill them on high heat until charred, usually 10 min. Works on lower temps of course, just add more time.

Wow! That looks like a great cook and a heck of a nice day!
Thanks Duff . Was nice to sit outside and tend the cook . Which didn't really need tending . That 26" kettle does a great job as a smoker .

Thanks for the comment . I do corn several different ways . In the husk on the grill is the easiest .
Did you soak the corn before griller or no ?

Lol . Yup . I get better use from breaking them down . I always cross cut and save the point end whole anymore . Can smoke or always grind it later if needed .
I'll grind the flat and also cut it into " short rib " style hunks .

Thanks for the comment .
 
Now that is a meal that's carousel worthy for sure! Congrats Rich...great cook Brother! Everything on that plate looks terrific!
