My friends – have you ever had smoked corn? This Smoked Fiesta Corn on the Cob is so incredibly delicious & easy to make too. It really is the perfect side dish to all your favorite summer recipes.

At the end of last summer we picked up a little smoker & have been itching all winter to give it a go. We started out with the basics (more on that later) & then I thought it would be super tasty to smoke the corn in there. It is so much better than grilling & of course, far superior to plain old boiling.

It is really quite simple to do & SO worth it. Prepare corn by removing the silks & leaving the husk still on. Then place in a shallow pan & cover with water. I like to use these disposable aluminum roasting pans. Soak the corn for a minimum of 6 hours. Then you add your butter, cheese & chili powder & recover with the husks. Then it’s time to let the smoker do it’s magic.

Why do I have to soak the corn?

This is to ensure that the husks are not too dry so they don’t create a fire hazard when placing them in the smoker. You want smoked corn, not flame seared.

Can I add other seasonings?

Yes – of course. We like cheese & a little heat. But feel free to add salt, pepper, garlic – whatever you like.
