How to Grill CORN ON THE COB THREE WAYS ON A WEBER Q!

[@petera8438]

Very clear, succinct explanations. No wasted words and time. Yep, we are from outside of the usa as well. It's a warm balmy summers evening, January 2024 here in NZ. The corn is in the Weber as I type this comment. Soaked in water and now on the grill along with some sausage's and potatoes. I'm salivating already. Can't wait to eat. I'll try the 2 other methods next time.

[@tamphan6828]

Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier kzbin.infoUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.

Have been grilling corn in the husk for years and like it that way the best

[@ChicagoGriller]

All three methods make some delicious grilled corn, but your favorite will come down to personal preference! Thanks for watching!

[@lanngunn6512]

Good to know. Trying it today.

[@Jdizzle-lv6of]

You should try cooking it for less time

[@barryangel6665]

Hey, thanks so much for this video. I did the corn in the husk tonight and my wife loved it for a couple reasons. Didn’t have to use the stove to boil the corn which would heat up the house. The mess stayed outside. Cooked it for 20 minutes at 500 degrees as you instructed and the corn was amazing!! Thanks again.

[@eranthompson8707]

Thank you for the informative video. You can also try a mix between in the husk and grilling directly. I like to grill in the husk, pull the leaves back, roll in butter, and place directly on the grill for a few minutes to add more char. add salt and use the leaves and husk as your handle to eat.

[@ChicagoGriller]

This is a great variation. Thanks for sharing!

[@donaldrentfrow4333]

I agree....... putting butter and S/P and then back onto the grill is the best......

[@RockyMtnCrystal]

I respect your honesty and not wanting to eat on camera. Some people can do it and some can't. I appreciate and trust your perspective on all three methods.

[@ChicagoGriller]

I’ve done it a few times now that I’ve been putting out videos a few years. But I still feel it’s generally tacky with KZbinrs. Every time it’s “mmmm it’s so good!” Lol

[@kevinwithers3781]

What was not mentioned in this video is that it's a bitch to shuck corn grilled in the husk. Pulling the husk off and removing the silk strands when the corn is hot off the grill can be difficult and painful if you don't have gloves made for that purpose. The alternative is to, before you grill the corn, peel down the husk enough to remove the silk and then roll the husk back up and tie at the top to keep corn protected. Then soak the corn, and then grill it. That way, when you pull the corn off the grill, the scorched husk easily comes off and you don't have to worry about the silk.

[@elihathaway5709]

You’re the man. Everything I look for in an instructional video. Good stuff!!

[@ChicagoGriller]

Appreciate the kind comment! Thanks for watching!

[@MacTechG4]

I tried the in husk method on my Weber deluxe charcoal kettle over some sugar maple charcoal, it came out *amazing*! I let the first layer husk leaves burn off, and the corn was perfect, gonna try again and see if more husk leaves burning off make a difference

[@thejim3501]

I wrap it in foil, then make a tray out of foil and but butter in it. Roll the corn in the butter, then place directly on grill. Then back in the butter. It chars, and soakes up butter like a sponge.

[@Ashleykelvin27]

What is but butter? Sounds nasty

[@michaelsherron5750]

@@Ashleykelvin27😂😂😂😂😂

[@roxannd8536]

Thank you for sharing. Just in the event anyone doesn't have a grill or just don't want to cook corn on the grill, it can be cooked in the microwave. For easy clean up I put the corn on a microwaveable plate, 2 or three at a time. Leave the husks on, cook 3 , turn corn, cook another 3 mins. Remove, and enjoy 😋 If you so desire, add butter or seasonings after the husk is removed

[@sk8kevhdf]

I like that you prefered the one grilled in the husk. We sometimes grill on our rowboat while fishing. And I dont like bringing extra foil or aluminum for the trips. Definetely going to grow corn for this event this summer. Greetings from Germany

[@tomwolfe9331]

Whenever I do the foil method I boil the corn, Slightly blanching 3 to 5 minutes, let it drain slather the top with butter and let it melt, garlic butter store-bought or homemade really makes it pop. And if you’re herbalist nothing wrong with a little canna butter. Oh I remiss season your corn before you add the butter all sides. Wrap set Indirect heat turning every 15 minutes or so. Steaming hot and delicious.

[@chocolatewheelchair]

I took your advice and had cannabis corn I was so high I ate the foil and husk it was so good worth it thank you big homie

Hi Gregory! Thanks for the support from down under!

[@VengD]

I usually soak them in their husk for 30mins before peeling them and grilling them in foil. They'll soak up water, and you can putt whatever seasoning on them you want.

[@ChicagoGriller]

That's a good trick!

[@markmgrdichian6730]

​@@ChicagoGriller Living in New England I'm partial to our butter and sugar corn. I soak them in water for 20 min while still in the husk and then throw them on the grill. I've also seen people pull back the husk and remove the silk before grilling. I've also seen pulling back the husk after soaking, rub the ears in butter, rewrap the husk and wrap them in foil before putting on the grill. KEEPING THE HUSK ON IS KEY FOR THAT DELICIOUS CORN FLAVOR

I soak corn in sugar water with the husk on, if you open the top you can pour liquid butter down it

[@ChicagoGriller]

This is an amazing trick! Thanks for sharing!

[@blacksheepev4519]

With the foil method, try rubbing it in with olive oil and salt before wrapping it. It’s delicious 🤤

[@ChicagoGriller]

Corn is sweet and delicious on its own, but I do agree for the video I should have put some seasoning on it. I'll have to do an updated version of this corn video in the near future!

[@YesItsMario]

I like husk on, but I take off a few layers.

[@ChicagoGriller]

This is probably the best way!

[@debkellar715]

I find it's easy to break the stem first if long enough then the rest will fall off and just clean the little bit of hair remaining, less mess, less time.

I've grilled without soaking before as well. It does work, but you definitely end up with a lot of charred husks and silks in your grill vs all other methods. I'd have to compare the taste sometime though!

[@ChicagoGriller]

Hi Luvta, thanks for watching! Everybody has their own preference, but like I said, truth be told I do usually prefer my corn pretty plain. I did an elote-style video, but this plain one is still my preferred method.

[@TylerNally]

The only different way I'd do the tin foil wrapped corn would be to add a tablespoon of water to the tin foil wrapped goodness before grilling. If you add water, you have to pay attention to the wrapped direction 9f the foil. The reason being, if you rotate 8t the incorrect direction (with the wrapped layered direction) you can slowly empty water from your wrap. If you turn the wrap against the wrap, then your always pushing the water back to the ear where it'll steam.

[@ChicagoGriller]

Hello! Welcome to the channel!

[@mikebonnett7730]

my favorite way of doing corn in the husk is a way I saw on BBQ University with Steven Richlen where he puts them right on the hot coals. you must use natural lump charcoal because it doesn’t have any chemical additives like briquets have to hold them together. and you don’t have too soak the ears or cut anything off the ears just sit them on the hot coals and turn them every minute or two until the husks are completely burned off then make sure no hot coals are stuck on the cobs when you take them off the grill and put them on a plate. if any ashes are on the cobs just brush them off. he also does what he calls caveman Ribeye steaks in the coals he uses steaks cut 2” thick they get charred on the outside and medium rare on the inside

[@ChicagoGriller]

Interesting technique. Thanks for sharing. I will try this on the Char Q!

[@RurouniKalainGaming]
