>>2776I buttered them
before grilling. Also funny thing I noticed with the charcoal grill. The first time I tried this with just charcoals it took forever. Either the charcoals stopped being hot enough and needed to be reignited or the heat buildup was too slow. In the end it only reached around 400f and could cook the corn slowly.
This time I tried something a bit different. I thought that maybe the thing that was lacking was that there was no fire to really heat things up, since charcoal just smolders. So I went to The Home Depot, picked up an axe, and then I went to the untossed branch pile in my backyard and grabbed a branch to hack into pieces. Using those pieces alone with some good firestarter materials I started lit it and that blazed for probably a good half an hour or more, didn't check how long exactly because I left it to burn out after I finished cooking. Also the temps inside with burning wood was able to exceed 600f so that's a much better option if you want to try cooking with a non-gas grill. Or maybe ideally it's a mix of both, but chopping wood is fun.
