Ingredients
- 4 ears corn, remove and discard the husk and silk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
- 1/4 cup parmesan
- chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place the corn onto a plate and brush with one tablespoon of olive oil.
- Preheat smoker according to manufacturer's guidelines. Preheat to 250 degrees F.
- Once the smoker is thoroughly heated, add 2 cups of apple woodchips directly onto the charcoal. If you prefer, you can pre-soak the woodchips in water for 30 minutes. Drain and wrap well in aluminum foil. Poke holes into the top of the foil packet and place the packet onto the coals.
- Place the corn onto the top rack in your smoker. Close the smoker and smoke the corn for 30 minutes while maintaining a temperature of 250 degrees F.
- Use tongs to remove your corn from the smoker. Transfer them to an aluminum plate. Brush the corn with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season the corn with the salt and half the ground black pepper.
- Return to smoker for 15 minutes.
- Once done, place corn onto a platter. While it's still hot, brush over the butter and sprinkle over the remaining black pepper, the parmesan, and the cayenne pepper, if using. Garnish and serve immediately.
