Traeger Smoked Corn on the Cob is the perfect side dish for any BBQ. The sweet corn is basted in butter and seasoning and then smoked until tender. The kernels are slightly charred and full of great smoky flavor, making them irresistible.
Pull husks down on the corn and remove the silk. You can either leave the husks on or take them off. They make great corn holders if left on.
Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add seasoning salt and black pepper. Mix to combine.
Brush the corn with the seasoned butter mixture.
Place corn cobs directly on the grill grate of the preheated smoker.
Close the lid, and smoke the corn for 1½ hours. Turn and baste the corn with the butter mixture every 15-20 minutes. The corn is done when the kernels start to turn a dark yellow/light brown color and there is a nice char on the outside.
Remove the corn from the grill. Serve immediately with the remaining butter mixture, and enjoy!

Notes
Brush the butter mixture into all the nooks and crannies of the corn for maximum flavor and baste every 15 minutes.
Cooking times may vary depending on the type of smoker you are using. My Pit Boss pellet smoker cooks faster, so this corn is ready 15 minutes sooner than it would be on the Traeger.
Make a corn salad with any leftover corn, or use it in soup to add a smoky flavor.
