Question for all the experts here.
I'm doing a large cook for my church for the 4th...everyone is invited if you happen to live near Eden Prairie, MN...:)
I'm shredding/pulling pork butts and beef shoulders. Going to plan for around 200 people. I always pull the meat and store in a cooler for about 4-5 hours.
That leaves my larger smoker still hot and available.
I was thinking about adding sweet corn to the menu and thinking I could maybe put 100 ears in the smoker and then chop them in half and serve in a chafing tray with salted butter...think ears floating in butter.
I don't want to "shuck" 100 ears or "pull back" the husk of each ear and add butter, etc...to much work.
I'm thinking I could just put them in the smoker (maybe soak them prior) in the husk until tender and then chop them on site...chop each end and down the middle and thinking the husks will come off quickly.
I'm also trying to think through how long I could store them in a cooler before serving.
Would it take 1 or 2 hours @240 and then I could throw them in a cooler to deliver and serve another 2 hours later?
I realize there are other ways to make corn...but just wondering if this might be an easy way to make corn quickly.
It's all about mass production...anyone tried something like this?
