Preheat the barbecue grill to medium heat. Peel back the husks of the corn
but do not remove the husks.
Remove the thin silk strands with your dry hands and recover the corn with
the husk. Do not use water to clean the strands.
Soak each ear of corn in large pot of cold water for 1 hour to hydrate the
husks.
Remove corn from water and shake off excess.
Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the husk and set the corn aside. Increase the heat of the barbecue to
high. Place the peeled corn on the grill over direct heat. Grill uncovered to
gain brown grill marks on all sides. Watch the corn carefully to avoid burning.
