Grilling Corn
Corn on the Cob is the most popular side dish prepared on the grill and the most popular grilled vegetable according to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association. This is probably because it is easy to do, quick, and doesn't require you to boil gallons of water on a hot summer day. The most important reason to grill your corn, however, is because of the flavor. Grilling adds flavor to corn on the cob. Boiling removes flavor.

To me, few things say summer like sweet, buttery corn on the cob. Now, the worst way to prepare corn on the cob is to boil away all the flavor. Instead, take it to the grill. Grilling corn is quick and easy and there are so many ways to season it, so fresh cobs can be taken straight from the grill to the plate. These BBQ corn recipes are perfect for any occasion and can be grilled or smoked in small or large batches.

Top 10 Corn Butter Recipes
There are two ways to grill corn to perfection. Husks on or husks off. To prepare with husks on, place corn right into burning coals for a few minutes. The husks will burn and the corn will steam, slowly absorbing smoke while the sugars caramelize to perfection. Husks off, place the corn on the cooking grate over a high heat and grill until the kernels start to turn and charring appears. Turn frequently. This process, caramelizes the sugars and creates a perfect flavor. With this method, the corn can be basted with any of these flavorful butters. Or, take the piping hot corn and brush liberally with any of these great recipes and you'll have a fantastic vegetable course with any meal.

Grilling Corn on the Cob
As with any vegetable cooked on the grill, you should start by soaking corn on the cob in cold water. This will allow extra moisture into the corn, softening the husks, making them easier to work with. Allow the corn to soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes
