I love to get fresh corn on the cob from our local vegetable stands. The corn tastes better than store bought and also supports our local economy (i.e. local farmers).
I have also cooked the corn on the grill the way you described. I also have not shucked the ears and placed them on the grill away from the hot coals. This method works well since the natural husk prevents the corn from drying out while cooking.
When not grilling I place the corn in briskly boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Make sure not to cook any longer else you will have mushy water logged corn on the cob. I like to use real butter and a little salt on my corn on the cob.
I have also used Old Bay Butter on my corn on the cob...absolutely delicious.
