Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 cups Wood chips (hickory, cherry, or applewood)
Instructions
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes prior to smoking, then drain.
Husk the corn and remove the silk strands. Rinse the corn under cool water to ensure all silk is gone, then pat dry with a kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika together to form a seasoning mixture.
Brush each ear of corn with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring an even coating over the entire cob.
Place the prepared ears of corn directly on the smoker grates. Add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box or directly to the coals, depending on your smoker's setup.
Smoke the corn at 225°F (107°C) for 60 minutes, turning the cobs halfway through to ensure even cooking and smoking.
Once the corn is tender and infused with a smoky aroma, remove it from the smoker carefully.
Serve the smoked corn hot, optionally with a pat of butter or additional seasoning. Enjoy!
