Buttery Smoked corn takes about 45 minutes to fully heat in the smoker. We recommend flipping the ears of corn half way through. This ensures that all sides are properly cooked.

Make sure to add wood chips to the smoker every 15 minutes if your smoker does not have an automatic feature.  

How to Pick the Best Corn:

The best corn to get is from a farmer, a farm stand or at a farmers market. Once a corn is picked, it looses its sweetness the moment it has been picked. Prepare corn as quickly as you can to keep the flavor.

A good corn on the cob should be heavy and have very little give. When picking corn at the grocery store, make sure the ears are bright green and not wilted.

We recommend squeezing the corn around the tips to ensure it is full and juicy.
