Beery Ears of Corn
- 6 ears of corn, with husks
- Two 12-ounce bottles or cans full-bodied beer
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground dried mild red chile, such as New Mexican or ancho, or commercial chili powder
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- Pull back the corn husks and remove the corn silks.
- Place the corn in a plastic bag or shallow dish large enough to submerge both the ears and the husks.
- Pour the beer and Worcestershire sauce over the corn, and soak it for 1 to 2 hours, turning it occasionally if needed to marinate evenly.
- In a small saucepan, warm all the butter ingredients together over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat but keep the mixture warm.
- Bring your smoker to its appropriate cooking temperature.
- Drain the corn.
- Brush each ear generously with the seasoned butter.
- Rearrange the husks in their original position.
- Tear one or two husks into strips and use them to tie around the tops of the ears to hold the other husks in place.
- Transfer the corn to the smoker and cook it until tender, about 55 to 65 minutes at a temperature of 225 F to 250 F. Remove the corn from the smoker and pull the husks back to make handles for the ears, or pull the husks off and discard them.
- Serve the corn hot, accompanied with a small bowl of the remaining butter, melted or at room temperature.
