We were a little late to harvest our corn, but we were able to salvage enough to cook. But instead of peeling the husks and dropping them in a pot of boiling water, we decided to show you our favorite method of cooking corn on the cob… IN THE CAMPFIRE!

we me and my wife like to peel back the husk a little bit and put in butter(about two Pats worth) some salt and pepper to taste and re lay the husk on the cobs then fire cook or even BBQ them. it' kinda a Texas thing to cook everything on a fire or BBQ if your not in the country 😉 but I love your Hugleculture mound, I have seen them before but YOU guys showed how to actually make one and use it Thanks
Never, I've picked shucked and eatin many ears of corn and have found bugs and worms inside. So you are eating cooked worms I'm sure.
Add some bees to your garden to increase pollenation
Make popcorn
Ok…I've been looking for a HOMESTEADER in ga. no use learning from a farmer in an area I'm not going to be living in. could you verify that you are in GA and tell me the area if possible. appreciated! Good vids.ty
My mum pulled small pieces of the tops of the stalks off to manually pollinate the silk on the corn cobs and it worked really well. I think you have to research really well to know when to do that though.
Corn has to cross-pollinate in order to develop properly. You need at LEAST four rows of it, minimum. But hey at least your corn grew! Mine grew to a foot tall, at most, this past year. They ended up being sacrificed to the ground as mulch.
I think you should start some beehives. That will provide honey and improve the pollination of your corn and other crops and flowers.
when i was about 6 or 7 my brothers and i took an old cast iron pot and built a fire under it and cooked up a mess of corn right out in the yard.
campfires cooking outdoors and all that stuff over the years. never knew people would be telling others how to do it by video. never even imagined a thing like the internet back in the early 60's when we boiled that corn.
must be a bunch of city folks out there who do not know things.
Someday I'll have a property like this, in Minnesota probably, where I live now. And eat my own home grown corn. One day
Have you seen edible acres chicken composting system?
Hi there the dry corn should be your seeds for next year. Love your method of cooking corn and Paula's matter of fact comment.
Look at all those lovely stones round your fire pit. When I lived in Africa we use to just place the corn over a grill on the ember .Over ripe corn was also cooked that way a little tough on the teeth but nice.
That's one of my favorite ways of cooking corn. I generally give the corn a quick soak so that it can withstand being in the coal and allows the corn to steam in its own husk. Afterwards, you can give it glaze it with any sauce (I like a mix of soy sauce and sugar–optional miso if you're into it), and stick it back on the fire on top of a grill. This will caramelize the sauce, and add a bit of smoke to your corn as the sauce drips down on the coals beneath.
Well done. Clear in depth explanations. Good videography. Useful information. Thank you.
Trying this tonight but a little bit of a different method. Hope it turns out good!
Why soak corn?
I like to foil wrap corn with butter on top of grill
OMG, I just found your channel and so enjoy watching you learn how to homestead. Any time you need help give a yell and I will try to help. Oh by the way I am old 68 been gardening and canning food many years.
No need to add sugar. Sugar is an acid. EVERYTHING, almost, in the supermarket has added sugar. sugar is a poison.

you can boil the yellowish ones if you end up with some of them, sometimes we get fresh corns then we stock a few untill they get hard an yellow then boil them with little salt, by the way they are the ones packed in jars for salads i think they add bakingg soda to make them soft a bit again, cheers
You two are so fortunate to have found each other to share life's journey and laugh along the way!!
Mmmmm burnt corn after 2 hours of needless prep… No thanks.
I've never soaked it 1st. Always stright 2 the fire. What's the flavor/texture change?
Soak in water and eat it
Your laughter is so joyful and contiguous! Thanks for making my night better
Down South , US We call them roastingEars one word. we use a grille put it about 1 foot above coals next to each other after you see color trun starting with the 1st 1/4 turn . with prep pull the hairs soak. If it been spary with Pesticide (YUK) soak it along time change water ,start over .most of the time You can`t get that taste out ,that means get close to a toilet .Foe Real hopefully Birds wih get the caterpillers there viciously fast .just walk though and poke Um with Ice pick.or alike tool….Very Nice Day you folks had .
Hey! How’s it going?
Great video! Very informative. I just had a couple of questions for you guys if that’s alright. I’m new to campfires, as I just built my first fire pit. I want to try doing some cooking on the fire, but again don’t really have too much experience or knowledge on how to go about it just yet. When your fire burns out to make a bed of coals, how would go about restarting another fire on top of the bed of coals? Would you start from scratch buy adding more kindling, firewood, leaves, twigs etc? Like say I made the corn on the bed of coals, but want to continue to have a roaring fire afterwards while eating the corn and sitting around the fire pit.
Secondly, after your first batch of corn is done, would the coals still be hot enough for a second round of corn?
If you could help me out with this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much! Great video, once again!

What's with the anti white advertising? "The Majority of farms are owned by white people" why are they not allowed to own farms you racist piece of shit
I have done it this way a few times. Perfect every time. Those charred bits really are the best part
Push all of the coals and burning logs to the opposite sides making a cavity in the center then place the corn in that cavity.
