Prepare the ingredients.

Step 2

Soak the corn in their husks in a large pot of water for 2 hours. Also, soak the wood chips in water for about 30 minutes.

Preheat a smoker to 120°C (250°F). Place the unhusked corn on wire racks and put them in the smoker. Add the wood chips as per the manufacturer's directions. Smoke the corn until it reaches your desired tenderness, which should take 60-75 minutes.
