@Dawgtired I'll see if I can come up with it. I really don't think it's any different than what you could probably find online. I remember trying it as a kid and falling in love with it. My mom usually makes it on special occasions. So I'm sure the sentimental value is much higher for me with the dish as it would be to anyone else. I'll track it down either way and post it.

@Dawgtired I’ve tried several recipes. I’m a fan of oysters Rockefeller. The main thing the wood oven does over the egg is the heat from a robust fire rolls over the top of the oysters to broil the top. On a grill the heat is from the bottom. In my opinion it makes a significant difference in the way the oyster turns out.

What wood fired oven do you own?
