Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make my super simple pellet smoker corn on the cob.

For the corn

You’ll need fresh ears of corn. Plan for 1-2 corn on the cobs per person. To prepare them, peel back the husks and discard them so you have fully shucked corn. You can smoke corn in the husk – but you’ll want to peel them back to apply the butter sauce as they cook. So I say: skip the husk!

For the butter sauce

• Butter
• Cilantro (fresh chopped)
• Garlic powder
• Salt and pepper
• Cotija cheese (optional)

How to make smoke corn on the cob

Fire up the smoker and let’s cook…

1. Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees F.
2. In a small bowl, mix together butter with fresh cilantro, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brush half of the butter mixture all over the corn.

3. Once the pellet grill is heated to 225°F, add butter seasoned corn on the cob directly on the smoker grates. Close the lid and smoke corn on the cob for 25 minutes.
4. Flip corn, brush the remaining butter seasoning on top, and smoke for an additional 20 minutes or until corn is completely cooked and easy to pierce with a fork. The total cook time for smoked corn is about 45 minutes.
5. Remove smoked corn from the pellet grill, top with cotija cheese, let it cool until it’s safe to eat, and enjoy.
