Cooking Corn on the Cob!

[papabuck]

Needs suggestions on the best way to cook corn on the cob in smoker. The corn husk will be removed. Will be using a reverse flow cooker and southern pride. Time and temps would be most helpful.

I will say I have limited experience with cooking corn but when I do do it I just leave the husk on and place on the smoker at about 250-275 for about an hour and I check it every so often and pull when done. What I have done has been great.

If there is heavy husk remove outer layers, soak in water to moisten husks for about an hour, remove let drain a bit, pull back husks and dip in a tall narrow drinking cup or mug using either olive oil or melted butter. You can then dust with some spices if you like, push the husk back over and place on grill, your using an offset so you already have indirect heat. I'd say about 45 minutes at 250-275 would do it, we do ours indirect, but at higher temp for about 15-20 minutes. Might want to do a test on timing, as its indirect your pretty safe. Doing it with husks on saves a lot of time making sure you don't get burnt areas and constantly flipping ears of corn. Moistening the husks helps steam the corn, with the basting already done by the dip. A bit more labor with this method, but produces a nice product.

Soak in water for an hour,Peel back the husks and remove the silk. Rub some butter or margarine on it. Apply your rub and pull the husks back up . Cook them in the smoker at about 250-300 degrees for about approx 45 minutes.

Btw nice website papabuck..

Roasted ear corn is a big item in Texas, as noted with this company that builds and sells roasters http://www.cornroaster.com/ you can buy a ‘how to’ e-book from this site.

We have family that vends shuck on ear corn from a home made rotisserie gas fired roaster, around 700#’s per load. The temp runs ±300º, ready in 30 min. When a customer walks up they pull an ear from the pit, peel back the shuck and silk, hand it to the customer. They keep several pots of melted butter warmed, customer dips ear in butter and salt/pepper to taste.

Ear corn cost 20¢, sale $3.50

These all sound great, but I am doing an event in August and will not have fresh corn available in the husk.....so i will be smoking corn that is not in the husk..any suggestions?

Are you doing the whole cob or halves? If shucked I'd put it in a pan with a lil butter and go 325 for about 20-25 minutes. You'll have to experiment with what works best for you and the end result of the product your looking for.

you could try this...
If you're using frozen corn, let it thaw. slather it in Miracle Whip, season and wrap in foil
45 min to hour at 300 and you're good.
I'd definitely practice it first and make sure you like the way it comes out.
Frozen corn will have a different texture then fresh

Here's an option..

Southern Smoke, I've never seen that before today. I can't quite read the # of ears per can. Is it 4? It does look good, however, my thought is, it might be pricey.
What kind of $$ are we talking about per can?
Is it good?
Method of prep?

Thanks

I did it over the weekend. Shucked it, rubbed with soft butter, salt and pepper and wrapped in foil and placed on grill close to the firebox for an hour as I was maintaining 225 temps. Came out fine.

Another method we have used.. put the fresh corn in a covered foil tray, shucked and buttered slightly. When fresh is available..

Grilled some up last weekend. We got some sweet white corn and pulled down the husk part way. Pulled the floss out and pulled the husk back on, soaked them in water and grilled them over direct heat.

My favorite way to do corn on the cob is to place the cobs in water for about an hour and then put them directly on the grill/smoker. When you pull them off just pull down the husk and silk and serve with butter and salt then sprinkle on some lime juice.

Pulling the husk and silk after they are cooked is real easy and you have the husk as a handle to eat the cob.

Love the dip idea as well as the cheese and pepper flake options.
