Title: Smoking with Corn Cobs
Post by: Hetron on September 21, 2016, 12:33:22 AM
Anyone ever used corn cobs to smoke meat?  Thinking about smoking a brined (Morton's curing salt mix)  boneless pork loin.  Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated.

At Tractor Supply the horse bedding is actually made from ground up corn cobs.,,,not bad for smoking and cheap. Just wanted to pass that along......runs about $9 a bag for the 40 pound bag

Would not have thought to try that. What flavor does it impart on the meat.

Haven't tried corn cobs yet, but this is on my bucket list-a taste 'o the old sod!

I haven't tried corn cobs, but peat reminded me of food cooked with hay. A mild, sweet smokey flavor.
