Prepare a campfire with hot coals or a grill.

Soak corn cobs in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Place corn cobs directly on the grill or near the coals until charred, about 10-15 minutes.

Score the chestnuts with an 'X' on the flat side to prevent bursting.

Wrap chestnuts in aluminum foil and place them on the grill or coals for 15-20 minutes.

Turn the chestnuts occasionally until the shells are charred and the nuts are tender.

Remove corn and chestnuts from heat and let cool slightly.

Peel the chestnuts while warm and discard the shells.

Brush corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Serve corn alongside the warm chestnuts.
