I have always been a boiled corn type of person... This year I tried, for the first time, grilling.
I used the take off all the husks method. I put them on the upper grill and basted them with vegetable oil. Turned them as needed.
The first time, I undercooked them and had to put them back on the grill. The next time I cooked them longer and had OK results.
The corn was chewier than I would usually like but the sugars in the corn were more carmelized than when boiling... the flavour was different.
I will try the soak them in the husks method next time as it sounds logical. The water that is soaked up by the husks not only slows the husks from burning but also serves to steam the corn inside...
/me off to experiment.
