Right now, Colorado corn is at it's peak. So when the prices drop to ten cents a piece, try this method for grilling corn:

1. Peel off all of the husk except for the innermost layer: this layer is more moist than the others and is a little transparent. This gives the corn just enough protection from the grill heat to preserve the moisture in the corn while letting through the smoky flavor (much more so than wrapping tightly in foil).

2. Grill the corn over a medium-hot fire, turning every 2 minutes, until you see dark outlines of the kernels on the husk and the husk is charred and starting to peel away from the tip. This should take 8 to 10 minutes.

3. Tranfer corn to a platter. After it's cooled a bit, remove the charred husk and silk. Season with whatever you like and serve.
