Corn on the Cob - Smoker?

[Dduffs71]

This may be a real stupid question......Can you cook corn on the cob on the smoker? If so, how? Many thanks

I'm not sure you would want a smokey taste on your corn would you? The way I cook mine is to just slather the cobs in butter then wrap them in foil and set them on the coals. Make sure you keep turning them every 15mins or so.

personally i wouldn't smoke them, besides not being too sure how they'd taste smoked, they'd also take hours to cook and would probably get a bit dry.

The way i like to cook them is whilst they're still in the husks, place them directly onto the coals turning once the husk has burnt away, once all of the husk has burn off it's done.

I did end up wrapping them in foil with a knob of butter and placing alongside the pork on the smoker,worked out a treat, they were on there for around 1.5 hours and were lovely, not really smokey, but just a tad.

They are amazing on the grill and take no time I found a great way that adam perry lang uses.

Firstly you need corn with the husks still on.
Peel back remove the silk then recover and immerse in water for 5 - 10 minutes
then onto a medium/high grill 3 minutes then turn for another 3
then pull back husks and twist to form a handle which you can trim
then 5-7 minutes to mark and char.
Lastly drizzle with a basil and lime pesto prior to serving and they are really good!

The wife loves corn on the cob and when i do boston butts or ribs, she likes corn to accompany them. I tried a few methods, such as foiling then taking out of the foil and putting on the grill to get some grill marks but i found all the juices would burn out and they would be left dry. So the way i found was to rub the corn with butter and salt and a little garlic or other spices if you like. Foil them up then chuck them on the smoker or indirect side of your Weber BBQ and i also put on potato bombs at the same time, recipe at the bottom. I let them cook for anywhere between an hour or two, if you want the grill marks you can put over the heat at the end in the foil, but we have found this is not important anymore as the corn is so juicy and tender!



Potato Bombs, which are potatoes cored (i use an apple corer) then put some tasty ingredients in the middle i use, cheese, onion, and some spices or hot sauce, but you can put anything in there you like really, like cooked bacon and cooked smoked sausages, then take the apple cored part and chop a small bit at each end and plug the ends, then rub with salt and a little oil, then foil! I cook for an hour or two, i do like to put the potato over the heat towards the end and turn every few minutes to get a crispier skin!
