- 1/4 cup of honey
- 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions:
1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F. If you don't have a smoker, you can use a charcoal grill with indirect heat.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Brush the butter mixture generously over the corn, making sure to get it in between the kernels.
5. Place the corn on the smoker or grill and cook for about 2 hours or until the corn is tender and lightly charred.
6. Carefully remove the husks from the corn, and serve hot with more melted butter on top, if desired.
Tips:
- Soak the corn in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent it from drying out.
- Mix up the seasoning! Try adding cumin, chili powder, or even some grated Parmesan cheese for a different flavor profile.
- For a more intense smoky flavor, add some wood chips to your smoker or grill.
- If you prefer your corn to be a little less charred, wrap it in aluminum foil before grilling.
Conclusion:
Smoked corn on the cob is a delicious and easy side dish that's perfect for summertime grilling. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can create a dish that's sure to impress your guests. So fire up your smoker or grill, and give this recipe a try!
