BBQ Corn on the Cob

After being begged by two of the three children to buy corn, I bbq'ed corn on the cob tonight.  After doing some research into various methods, I decided to attempt this.  I didn't eat it (it's not on my current eating plan, too starchy), but heard nothing but happy munching from said two children and their father.

Here's the key.  Brine the corn.  At least 30 minutes before cooking, toss the corn into a lot of cold water, mixed with a good 1/2 cup of salt (and a 1/4 cup of sugar if the corn doesn't seem sweet enough).  Let it sit.  Then toss on the hot grill and turn until it looks roasty and feels tender.  Serve with butter (another thing I currently can't eat, boo me!)
