(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 1 cup applewood chips
  • 4 large ears fresh corn with husks
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Directions

  1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for indirect heat. Bring temp to 275-300.

  2. Wrap applewood chips in a foil packet, and use a skewer to poke 10 holes through foil.

  3. Pull husks back from corn, keeping husks intact; remove and discard silks. Tie husks together with kitchen twine or a long strip of husk to form a handle for each ear of corn.

  4. Place foil packet with wood chips over coals or lit burner; close lid, and heat until smoke starts to fill grill. Place corn on grate over unlit side of grill. Cover and cook 30 minutes or until corn is tender and kernels are lightly browned, maintaining temp between 275-300. Remove corn from grill. Stir together butter, salt and pepper; brush evenly over corn.
