Easy Grilled Corn

> 12 ears of fresh-picked corn
> 1 hot BBQ
> 1 pair of heavy leather work gloves
> butter
> salt
> pepper

> Pre-heat your grill on high for ten minutes (mine hits close to 500 F).
> Place the unshucked ears of corn directly on the grill and close the
> lid. After eight minutes, use tongs to rotate each ear 180 degrees
> (charred side now facing up) and close the lid. DON'T FIDDLE WITH IT.

> After cooking for eight more minutes (sixteen minutes total cooking

> Serve immediately with butter, salt, and pepper. Leftovers can be

I grill my corn the same way with the exception that I soak the ears for
about 30 minutes before putting them on the grill. I also remove the
silk first but some like to let it burn off. The corn always comes out
so juicy. Everyone loves it. -G
