Steps:
- Carefully expose the corn kernels by pulling back the husk, but do NOT remove the husk.
- Remove the corn silk (you can use a soft brush to ensure that all the silk is removed).
- Put water in a large container, add the corn, and soak the corn in the husks for 30 minutes. This will help to prevent the husks from charring on the grill.
- Preheat grill to medium temperature.
- Remove the soaked corn from the water and pat dry.
- Wrap strips of bacon around the corn kernels on each ear; fold the husks back over the bacon and kernels.
- Tie the husks down with butcher string; repeat with all ears of corn.
- Grill over medium coals/heat, turning occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes and until the bacon is cooked and the corn is tender.
- Cut the butcher string away from the husks and serve.
- Note #1: You can make these earlier in the day if you store them in a container in the refrigerator wrapped in moistened towels.
- Note #2: I've done them ahead of time for camping, frozen them, and put them in the cooler frozen to help keep things cold in there. Take them out for cooking when thawed (or to thaw them). Put them in the coals for reheating. Wonderful! Also good with a little seasoned salt sprinkled on before wrapping - either Lowry's, Johnny's, or for a change of pace either Southwest Seasoning (http://www.recipezaar.com/253112) or Curry Powder (http://www.recipezaar.com/104344).
- Note #3: I've also found that I like to pre-cook the bacon a little so that it's partially cooked, drizzle the small amount of fat mixed with a bit of oil or butter over the cobs, wrap the bacon around, then proceed with the other steps. Otherwise the bacon doesn't cook completely on the cob and is generally tossed away uneaten.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WRAPPED WITH BACON
The saltiness of bacon brings out the sweetness in corn, and grilling adds mellow smokiness. Don't worry if you see charring-it mostly affects the husk and will bring out a deeper flavor in the kernels.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 1 to 2 seconds). Pull back husks completely (do not remove), exposing corn. Discard silk, using a vegetable brush to remove silk completely.
- Wrap 1 strip of bacon around each ear of corn. Pull corn husks back up, covering bacon and corn. Tie open end of husk with kitchen twine.
- Grill corn, turning occasionally with tongs, until kernels are tender and bacon is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes (husks will blacken). Transfer corn to a large bowl or platter; serve with salt and pepper for seasoning.
Tips for Grilling Bacon-Wrapped Corn on the Cob:
- **Choose fresh corn on the cob:** Look for ears with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels. Avoid any ears with brown or damaged husks. - **Soak the corn in water before grilling:** This will help the corn cook more evenly and prevent the husks from burning. Soak the corn for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. - **Use high-quality bacon:** Thick-cut bacon will hold up better on the grill and provide more flavor. Look for bacon that is smoked or cured with natural ingredients. - **Wrap the corn tightly with bacon:** Make sure the bacon is evenly distributed around the corn and that there are no gaps. This will help the bacon cook evenly and prevent it from falling off. - **Use a grill that is hot but not too hot:** A medium-high heat setting is ideal. If the grill is too hot, the bacon will burn before the corn has a chance to cook through. - **Grill the corn for 15-20 minutes:** Turn the corn every few minutes to ensure that it cooks evenly. The corn is done when the bacon is crispy and the kernels are tender. - **Let the corn cool slightly before serving:** This will make it easier to handle and prevent the bacon from falling off.Conclusion:
Grilled bacon-wrapped corn on the cob is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. With a few simple tips, you can grill corn on the cob that is perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. So next time you're looking for a side dish that will impress your guests, give bacon-wrapped corn on the cob a try.
