Corn On The Cob In Masterbuilt Smoker
If you are a fan of corn on the cob, you will be thrilled to know that you can easily cook it in your Masterbuilt smoker. Corn on the cob is a classic summer food that everyone loves, and smoking it takes it to a whole new level. With the right seasoning and wood chips, you can turn a simple corn on the cob into a showstopper. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about cooking corn on the cob in a Masterbuilt smoker.
Choosing The Right Corn
The first step in making the perfect corn on the cob is to choose the right corn. Look for ears of corn that are bright green and have fresh-looking husks. The kernels should be plump and tightly packed. Avoid corn that looks dry or has brown spots.
Preparing The Corn
Before you can smoke the corn, you need to prepare it. Remove the husks and the silk from the corn. Rinse the ears of corn under running water to remove any remaining silk. Pat the corn dry with a paper towel.
Seasoning The Corn
Now it's time to season the corn. You can use any seasoning you like, but we recommend using a combination of butter, salt, and pepper. Mix the butter, salt, and pepper in a bowl, and then brush it onto the corn. Be sure to coat the corn evenly.
Choosing The Right Wood Chips
The next step is to choose the right wood chips. You can use any wood chips you like, but we recommend using hickory or mesquite for a smoky flavor. Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will prevent them from burning too quickly and producing too much smoke.
Smoking The Corn
Now you are ready to smoke the corn. Preheat your Masterbuilt smoker to 225°F. Place the corn on the cob directly on the smoker rack. Close the smoker door and let the corn smoke for about 30 minutes. Check the corn every 15 minutes and rotate it to ensure that it cooks evenly.
Serving The Corn
When the corn is done smoking, remove it from the smoker and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve the corn on the cob with additional butter, salt, and pepper if desired. You can also use a brush to add more seasoning to the corn before serving.
