Corn on the Cob and BBQ Beans

[Thomas Andrews]

Greetings!

I'm smoking some spare ribs tonight and I thought I'd make some bbq beans and some corn on the cobs to go with it too.

How long do corn on the cobs take and does anybody have a tried and trusted recipe for bbq beans they could point me in the direction of?

Many thanks.

Plenty of advice to come I'm sure, but I did make corn this weekend using a new recipe, and it turned out OK. Not the best I've ever had, but pretty good. Start with husked cobs, mix a packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix with a few tablespoons of Mayo, slather it on. Wrap each cob with a strip (or two) of bacon. Wrap the whole deal in foil and grill over hot coals for 20 mins or so - turning several times. Like I said, it worked out OK, but needed more flavor. The corn had a nice char on it. The bacon doesn't like to stay wrapped once you take it out of the foil, but who cares?

Best beans I've ever had come from here:

Let us know what you end up with, and do like I say, not like I do and take pics!

Thanks, Marty!

It's just started to rain real heavy so I'm going to postpone it till tomorrow morning now.

I think this is only as good as the corn, but all I've been doing is this:

Remove some, not all of the husks from the cobs.

Soak them in a bucket for about 1/2 hour or so.

Put them indirect on a hot bbq for about 15 - 20 minutes.  I occasionally move and rotate them over the coals for a few minutes each.

Take them off and let them stand for a few minutes, then remove all of the husk and silk.  It comes off easily, but be careful - they are hot.

I then put the naked cobs over the coals to get a little char mark here and there.

Best I've ever had.
