Number Of Ingredients 8

Seasoned oak or hickory chips, for fire
Bricks, large stones, or cinder blocks, to support sheet metal
1 piece sheet metal (at least 3 by 3 feet and 3/16 inch thick)
30 to 40 pounds oysters, rinsed
3 to 4 large burlap sacks, soaked in water
1 pound butter, melted
2 cups cocktail sauce
3 to 4 lemons, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Build a hot fire with wood chips. Stack stones or bricks around fire so that the sheet metal sits securely on top.
  • Once metal is very hot, place oysters on top, and cover completely with wet burlap. Steam until shells begin to open, checking frequently, 12 to 18 minutes.
  • Shovel oysters onto a serving platter, discarding any that do not open, and serve immediately with melted butter, cocktail sauce, and lemon wedges.
