Couldn't be easier and is just like using wood chips. I soak the cobs in a bucket of water for an hour or two and place in the electric smoker's smoke pan. Same thing for my charcoal & gas grills. It doesn't take long for the smoke to flavor whatever you are BBQing or smoking. I especially like corn cobs for pork and fish. L2T ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank J.

Please advise method. fjh ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And now for something completely different... Corncobs. Field corn, not sweet corn. The ones with a tinge of red cob color. This will give a sweet taste. Very distinctive & very good. JohnT
