I'm so excited you posted this recipe! I was trying another method of grilled corn using foil but ran out of foil and still wanted to grill corn. This was fantastic! I really loved how simple this was and how easily the silks pulled off from the corn after finishing on the grill. The corn had its own background flavoring that a bit of butter and some pepper was all I needed to scarf down two ears of corn lickety split.
