Try this recipe and just add sugar to the water when you soak it

Another great "marinade" for corn is Zesty Italian dressing, but I cook it on a hot grill when I do that. I let it sit in a ziplok bag for 1-2 hours with marinade (no husks), put it on the grill, turn it every 3-5 minutes, baste it with the left over dressing in the bag about half way through cooking. Makes the best corn ever! My kids can't get enough of it.... lol.

What temps is your grill normally at?

Basically high heat grilling - like you are going to cook a steak. If you are using a gas grill crank it to high, for charcoal just put the corn over the hottest part of the grill. I find if you can cook and carmalize the outer part of the corn quickly it keeps it from getting gummy and chewy - so fast high heat on the outside and still gives you a nice sweet crunch of fresh cob

Try Mayo on your corn! Pull back the husk,de-silk the ear and slather Mayo all over the ear-haevily. No need to soak in water, the mayo keeps it moist. Pull back the husk and put on heat for 1 hr. or so(depends on how you cook-gas or smoking). You'll need no butter or salt, the taste is great-a recipe from Mexican street vendors...

I have smoked corn but I just soak them in water (rite out of the tap) then throw it in the smoker and it taste great and also makes a good addition to pasta salad. potatoe salad, or just staight up with butter.

I husk the corn, then get all the beards off of it and straight into the smoker for the last hour of a rib smoke at 230f.

Take out the ribs and Foil, leave in the corn, rest ribs for 30 minutes. This gives the corn 1 1/2 hours total in the smoke. No sugar, butter, evoo or water added. No need to tend them and they turn out awesome.

This gives you really nice sweet corn with no added sugar.

Soak corn in water & honey and liquid crab boil.
then smoke or grill.
If you want to boil it just add honey & liquid crab boil to the water that you boil the corn in. Unbelieveable taste.

lol... I wish I could claim full credit. I was on a camping trip on the Oregon coast and we stopped to get some corn to roast in the camp fire. The store clerk told us to de-silk the corn, but leave most of the husk on, pull top hal of the husk back, squirt in dressing, wrap in foil, and toss into camfire coals.

I have been totaly hooked on that ever since, so I just addapted it to grilling

. I sometimes cook extra ears then cut the corn off of the cob with a knife and use it in things like roasted corn salsas or chowder.
