🥘 Smoked Corn On The Cob Ingredients

Some people soak the corn husk and keep it on while smoking. Alternatively, some cooks prefer to brush the corn with seasoned butter before smoking.

See the 'why' of smoking your corn without extras in the notes below!

🔪 How To Make Smoked Corn On The Cob

There's no need to flip the corn at the halfway point because it will just let your smoke out. You'll need a small bowl, a basting brush, and a smoker, of course!

This smoked corn on the cob recipe will make 4 servings, but you can always make more if needed!

  1. Preheat. Prepare your smoker by heating it to 225°F (105°C/Gas Mark ¼).
  2. Smoke. Place 4 shucked ears of corn (360 grams) directly on the smoker grates (no butter or seasoning yet) and smoke them for 1 hour.
  3. Season and serve. Add the seasonings (⅛ teaspoon (0.75 grams) each of salt & pepper, ½ a teaspoon (1.5 grams) of garlic powder, ⅛ teaspoon (0.25 grams) of onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon (0.03 grams) of parsley) to 4 tablespoons (56 grams) of melted butter and stir to combine. Once the corn comes out of the smoker, brush it with the seasoned butter and serve right away.

Everyone knows corn on the cob goes with just about anything! You could make an entirely smoked meal by serving it with smoked short ribs and smoked baked potatoes. Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

  • I often smoke corn simultaneously with whatever meat I am smoking. This time, I placed the corn on the upper rack while smoking a brisket.
  • It is also my preference to smoke my corn bare (no butter) so that the smoke can effectively penetrate the corn.
  • Storing: Once cooled, leftover smoked corn on the cob should be wrapped tightly in foil then placed in an airtight container and refrigerated for 4-5 days.
  • Reheating: Place corn on the cob in a baking dish with 1-2 tablespoons of water and cover with foil. Bake for 5-10 minutes at 400°F (205°C/Gas Mark 6) until heated through.
