Traeger Corn on the Cob Recipe
One of my favorite things about summer is that I can get fresh corn on the cob. You know, the kind that keeps you going until the next summer. The kind that you remember when the rain is coming down and you are wishing for the smells and all the feels of sunshine.
My Traeger Corn on the Cob recipe is the perfect way to highlight this incredible seasonal produce!
Growing up in Minnesota, we had the best corn on the cob because of the growing conditions. It is the type of sweet corn that you should schedule your vacations around, it is so good. Many states have great sweet corn, but Minnesota’s sweet corn is the best. Let’s argue about it sometime over a big plate of buttery corn on the cob, mmmmkay?

How To Make Corn On The Cob On Your Pellet Grill
This is just the overview so you can see what you’re actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you’ll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.
- Preheat – Fire up your pellet grill and get it preheating to 350°F.
- Shuck – Shuck your corn and make sure to get all of those little silk threads that you can! Some will burn off on the grill, but no one likes pulling those out of their teeth.
- Grill – Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Let cook for 10 minutes. Flip the corn over and add a large foil pan with the butter inside to let it melt. Cook for another 10 minutes.
- Baste – Add the corn to the foil pan with the butter and coat each one with butter using a basting brush.
- Enjoy – Remove from the grill after another 5-10 minutes and enjoy! Sprinkle with the smoked salt and serve with extra butter.

Grilled Corn On The Cob FAQ
One of the great things about sweet corn is how versatile it is.
It goes with just about everything. I love to serve it with anything that comes off the grill. One of my favorites is my Honey Balsamic Traeger Grilled Chicken Legs.
Don’t forget about my Grilled Buffalo Chicken, either. I like to make this with my sweet when I need a little spice.
In the mood for some beef? My Traeger Ribeye is super popular, and one of my favorite steaks.
A great salad and some grilled vegetables, and you are in for a fabulous summer meal.
What are you making with your sweet corn on the cob tonight?
Sure! Just soak the corn for a few minutes in water before grilling to make sure it doesn’t go up in flames. Many people like this method, and the corn is a bit easier to shuck after it has been cooked.
We prefer to cook it already shucked, but feel free to make it your own!

Where is the recipe for the traeger veggie rub?

@Nicole Johnson, have you tried rubbing the corn in butter instead of a vegetable based oil? I sub melted butter (the REAL stuff) in any recipe that calls for vegetable oil, especially baking. Not sure if it will work differently being grilled

There isn't a recipe for that. It is a thing that Traeger sells. Here's a link! https://amzn.to/2RVg3nU
If you'd rather use something else, I usually go looking for a herb-centric bbq rub.
