Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prepare the corn. On each ear of corn, peel back the husk and remove the silk. Replace the husk and place the ears of corn in a large pot. Cover the corn with cool water, making sure it is completely submerged. Soak the corn for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the smoker. Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F. I like to use mild woods like maple, alder, or pecan.
  • Butter the corn. Remove the corn from the pot of water. Set on a towel and pat dry. Melt the butter and stir in the Sweet Rub seasoning. Peel back the husks on the corn and brush each ear on all sides with the seasoned butter. Pull the husks back up over the ear of corn.
  • Smoke the corn. Place the seasoned, husk-on corn directly on the grates of the smoker. Close the lid and smoke for 90 minutes. Remove the corn from the smoker, peel back the husks, tie them off with butcher's twine to use as handles, and enjoy!
