Notes
- Grilling the corn in the husk steams the corn and then grills it. There are less grill marks and some think it give the corn a crunchier bite. Be careful not to over cook the corn in the husk or else it will over steam and turn mushy.
- Grilling the corn without a husk gives you a little bit of a quicker grill with substantially more grill marks.
