How can one cook corn on an open grill

Question

I’ll be camping with limited access to water. I have a grill in the outside kitchen, however this grill doesn’t have a cover. Is it possible to grill corn on the cob on a cooking surface without a cover? If so, how?

Is the corn still in the husk ?
Do you have aluminium foil ?
Keep the corn in the husk and roast until cooked; it's better to remove some of the leaves and dip them in water to add some moisture to the corn before putting on the grill.
If you have aluminium foil, you can either keep the corn as is and wrap in foil, or remove the husk and wrap in foil and put on grill until cooked.
If your grill is really hot, you can finish the corn to add some color.

Even husked corn can be nicely roasted on an open grill.  Use gentle heat, turning frequently until the kernels are golden.  Some kernels will be darker, even charred a bit, but I find that enjoyable.

While keeping it wrapped (foil or husk) is preferable, you certainly can throw pre-prepared corn on the cob straight onto your grill. Just be aware it may cook extremely quickly so needs rotation.
It is also likely to get quite a char but some people like that.
