Ingredients
- 4 pieces corn on the cob husked
- 4 tablespoon butter or margarine
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker. Set the temperature to 225 degrees F. Make sure you have topped it up with wood pellets of your choice.
- Aluminum Foil. Grab some tin foil or aluminum foil, and tear it off into 12" squares. If making a lot of corn, you can make bigger squares to hold 2 ears of corn on the foil at a time. It will still cook just as well.
- Butter, salt, and pepper. Place corn on a piece of aluminum foil and place 1 tablespoon of butter onto each cob. Sprinkle each cob with ⅛ teaspoon of salt and 1/16 teaspoon of pepper, or to taste.
- Roll it up and seal. Next, roll up the corn cob in the square of tin foil. Then, fold the ends of the tin foil down.
- Smoke. Place the foil-wrapped corn on the preheated smoker at 225 degrees F. Smoke for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove with tongs and serve.
- Enjoy the best-tasting corn on the cob ever!

Notes
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled, making it easy to feed a large group of people.
- With cooking corn in a smoker, cook by time, not by temperature. It only takes one hour. Any type of smoker will work if the temperature is consistent.
- When removing the corn husk, ensure you get all of the corn silk off. No one wants to bite into an ear of corn and come out with hair in their teeth.
- To keep your hands clean, use corn holders.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Cut leftover corn off the cob and use it in salads, salsa, soups, stews, or wraps.
