Corn is an excellent summer side dish and smoked corn on the cob that much better! Addition of smoky flavor to the sweet, buttery corn is just what you need to go with your summer barbecue.
Carefully pull the husks back and try not to break too many of them. Take off all the whiskers and pull the husks back on.
Place it in a large roasting pan or a pot and cover it with enough cold water so it’s fully covered. Let it soak for 30 minutes to 2 hours. (No need to soak it any longer.)
Prpeare the corn:
After soaking, take the corn out and shake it off. Carefully pull the husks back and pat down as much water as you can.
Mix melted butter with seasoning and herbs and generously bush the corn with it all over. Carefully pull the husk back over the corn and repeat with remaining cobs.
Smoke the corn:
Set up your smoker as usual and add some mild wood. Preheat your smoker to 225° and try your best to maintain it at 225° and no higher.
Place seasoned corn in husks onto the grill grate, close the lid, and let it smoke for 45-60 minutes.
Take the corn off the smoker, let it cool, pull back the husks or take them off, and serve.
