corn on the cob on the grill in the husk?

I want to cook corn on the cob in the husk on the charcoal grill. I have never done this before. Is all i have to do is soak the corn for awhile,then put it husk and all on the grill for about 20 minutes,rotating it every now and then? thanks!!

You sir...are in for a very special treat!!! Soak them for about an hour...and cook them until the green is gone from the husk. They actually steam in the wet husks...absolutely delicious!!!

Three minutes in a microwave per ear when it's raining is good too

After soaking peel husks back again and add a few pats of butter. Then put husks back and put on grill. Butter penetrates every kernel. Flavor is out of this world

Excellent points fellas and I like to lightly salt them too.

I personally don't remove the silk, it comes right off after cooking. I do trim the tassle and silk back to about even with the end of the ear, and also trim the stalk end down to about 1 inch long (for a holder) as well as remove a few of the outer leaves of the husk. If in a hurry and no time to soak, I will hold the ear upright under cold running water and force water in between the ear and the husk. Seems to work well.

As stated so many times earlier, you are in for a real treat!
