Preparing the Corn
The first step in smoking corn on the cob is to prepare it. Start by removing the husks and silk from the corn cobs. Rinse the corn cobs under cold water to remove any remaining silk. Pat the corn cobs dry with a paper towel.

Sprinkle each corn cob with salt and pepper to taste.
Preparing the Smoker
Now that your corn is ready to go, it's time to prepare the smoker. Start by filling the smoker with wood chips. Hickory or applewood work well for smoking corn on the cob. If you are using an electric smoker, follow the manufacturer's instructions for adding wood chips.
Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees.
Smoking the Corn
Place the corn cobs directly on the smoker rack.
Smoke the corn on the cob for 1-2 hours, or until the corn is tender and has a smoky flavor.
Remove the corn from the smoker and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Smoked corn on the cob is best served hot. You can serve it with butter, salt, and pepper, or try some other toppings like cotija cheese or cilantro.
This delicious side dish is perfect for summer barbecues and backyard parties. Your guests will love the smoky flavor of the corn on the cob.
