Step 1

Preheat smoker to 225 degrees F.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together butter with fresh cilantro, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brush half of the butter mixture all over corn.

Step 3

Once grill is heated to 225°F, add butter seasoned corn on the cob directly on the smoker grates. Close the lid and smoke corn on the cob for 25 minutes.

Step 4

Flip corn, brush the remaining butter seasoning on top, and smoke for an additional 20 minutes or until corn is completely cooked and easy to pierce with a fork. The total cook time for smoked corn is about 45 minutes.

Step 5

Remove smoked corn from the pellet grill, top with cotija cheese, let it cool until it’s safe to eat, and enjoy.
