okay.......i have been getting SEVERAL pm's on how i do this.......so thought i would put this together for other folks......

Now some of the steps seems to simple to post pics of, but for those who may have never done fresh corn on the cob, its for them, so please bear with me........

Also, i will be posting pics of the rest of the meal i made, Brats, Dogs, and Cheeseburgers.

Step 1, the ear of corn......

Step 2, the husks stripped back........i remove most of the husks, just leave just enuff to cover the corn back up, after prepping.........

Step 3, the silk exposed, you need to remove ALL of this silk

Step 4, the silk removed

Step 5, i cut the tip off, so i can have the remaining husks long enuff to tie off

Step 6, buttered and peppered........you may choose to summin else in this step, i have seen olive oil used, cayenne used (my fav), etc.

Step 7, now fold the husks back up over the corn, CAREFULLY, its easy to tear one off, now and again. Here i show i used a husk stripped down, to make a tie. In case you don't have twists ties handy

BY THE WAY............my WIFE did all this, I just took the pics and smoked the final product..........

so all this goes to momma
 
well, tell her good job. She probobly learned from you takin pictures of food, and such. I was takin pics the other day out by the smoker and seen the guy across the road lookin over here I just pointed up.
 
Good Stuff WD. I also like to soak the corn once silk is removed for just a few minutes.
Smoked or grilled this is the best way of doing corn I have found!
 
yeah dude, they did.........

Vlap, i meant to post in the orig. thread, that some folks soak their corn.........i have done it both ways, and see no difference, in the end product.......
 
Kudos to Mrs Deud!! She done good.

Looks Great!!
 
I'm doing corn tonight for my first smoke - CS ribs w/ a Memphis rub. We've always soaked corn before grilling over a campfire, main reason is soaked husks wont let the corn get burnt, but after reading this i'll save myself the trouble. Husk-on grilled corn has always been my favorite, hopefully tonight that will change.
 
Enjoy... I made the corn on sunday. Coated with a chile lime oil. Make it strong since the steam will take out some flavor.
