- 4 ears of corn
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning
- 1 teaspoon pork rub or chili powder (pork rub recipe)
- 1-2 cloves garlic
Prepare your pellet grill smoker by adding your favorite flavor of wood pellets then preheat to 165 degrees F. Choose the super-smoke setting if you have it.
Meanwhile, mix softened butter, mayonnaise, crushed garlic, Tajin seasoning, and pork rub (or chili powder) until combined. Set the mixture aside while you prep the corn. Pull husks back from corn to expose and remove the silk. Divide seasoned butter mixture into four portions and slather over the corn cobs. Carefully pull the husk back over the seasoned corn, then tie them with strips of corn husks or butcher's twine.
Smoke corn at 165 degrees for 3 hours (use super smoke for the first 2 hours). Next, turn the temperature up to 450 degrees F and char the corn cobs for a few minutes on each side. Serve immediately with more butter and salt.
Smoked Corn In Under 30 Minute
- If you have a corn grilling basket, this would be a good time to use it!
- What flavor wood chips you use to smoke the corn is up to you. However, apple, cherry, maple, and hickory are all great options!
- Another way to season Traeger corn on the cob is to mix the spices into garlic aioli and use that to slather on the corn before you smoke them.
- If you don't want to deal with the husk mess, you can slice the bottom of the corn off to easily remove the husks. After that, loosely wrap the corn in foil or make slits in the foil so that the corn can be exposed to smoke.
- It is perfectly acceptable to make 8 servings out of this recipe, instead of 4. Using a sharp knife, slice each corn on the cob into two portions to accommodate last-minute guests.
