CLASSIC CORN ON THE COB

First things first, if you haven’t tried to straight up grill corn on the cob, don’t wait any longer. It couldn’t be simpler, and it’s the perfect side for late summer heading into fall. You have three choices of ways to make grilled corn on the cob absolutely incredible.

Wrapped for the Win: First, shuck the corn, making sure you have removed the silks. This is a great job for even the youngest kids, just send them outside to keep your kitchen neat. Next, butter the ears thoroughly and lay on a piece of aluminum foil. Follow that butter up with salt & pepper or your favorite recteq rub. We recommend Colden’s Freakin’ Greek or Ben’s Heffer Dust but any of our options will be delicious. Wrap the ears up snug and place on the recteq at 375℉ for about 15 to 20 minutes.Shucked & Straight on the Grill: For this method, you will also need to shuck and de-silk your corn. Next, add your choice of seasoning to a small bowl of melted butter and brush it on periodically as the corn cooks. This way of cooking is a little faster and will probably only take 10-15 minutes at 375℉.Roasted in the Husk: Lock in the moisture and get a beautiful, rustic result when you roast in the husk. First things first, you’ve got to get those silks out! Gently loosen the husks from the top of the ear and separate them enough to remove the silks. Wrap those husks back up and soak the ears in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent flames. Finally, grill at 375℉ for about 20 minutes. You will love the flavor this method provides.
