Can you smoke corn on the cob?

You bet! Not only is it easy, but it adds SO much flavor to the corn!

If you don’t live in an area where you can get local corn on the cob, chances are you get it from the grocery store. I find grocery store corn on the cob to be a little….lackluster. The flavor just isn’t as fresh and robust as local corn.

So here’s my fix.

BUTTERY Smoked Corn on the Cob!

How to Smoke Corn on the Cob:

1. Peel the husk back, remove the silks and soak the corn for a few hours.
2. Brush the corn with the butter mixture, sprinkle with green onion, and push corn husks over the corn.
3. Smoke and serve!

Cook’s Note – Buttery Smoked Corn on the Cob:

• Make sure you peel the corn husks back carefully! If you’re too rough or move too quickly, then you run the risk of losing too much of the husk.
• This smoked corn on the cob goes great with my Grilled Steak Marsala (you can see it in the corner of the photo above).
• Wood chips/pellets for smoking corn on the cob: apple, peach, cherry, Hickory, Maple, and Mesquite.
