Nothing better than fresh oysters grilled over a little pecan wood. This is the inaugural cook with the egg back in my table. Man it feels good to not be cooking on the ground!!!!

    I always buy at least a sack for that very reason. Heck I can eat a sack if my wife don't get onto me for being a glut!!! They are truly one of my all time favorites.

    Many, many years ago, I thought the same thing. It's one of those things that you just have to try to appreciate. It is beyond awesome!!

    I cook them with the dome open and the bottom vent wide open. Thus I'm not sure of the actual temp but you can believe that the egg would be approaching and probably exceeding 1,000 degrees with everything wide open. That is why I cook them raised. There is no way to reach down to fire ring level with the egg running wide open. It's so hot that the egg omits a ceramic smell. But as to time, the larger ones take about 4 minutes and the smaller ones take 1-2 minutes with the egg ramped up that hot.

    Absolutely my friend. Me and brother Nola knocked down a few raw ones to test them first.

    I picked up the oysters from Restaurant Depot in New Orleans.  35 pound bag $42.  They were nice and salty.  They actually came from San Antonio Bay.

    Looks great, Scotty.  I wish I was there.  We'd need another couple sacks.  You have any shells explode?  I almost set my cat on fire cooking the shells too hot once.
