Ingredients

4 ears corn on the cob, silks removed

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

Get all the necessary ingredients ready.
Soak the corn (still in their husks) in a large pot of water for 2 hours to ensure maximum moisture. Simultaneously, soak wood chips in a separate container of water for approximately 30 minutes to prepare them for smoking.
Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Arrange the corn in a single layer on wire racks and place the racks inside the smoker. Add the soaked wood chips according to the smoker manufacturer's instructions. Smoke the corn until it reaches your preferred level of tenderness, typically between 60 to 75 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, and paprika until well combined. Once the corn is smoked, peel back the husks and generously brush each cob with the prepared butter mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
