Ingredients:

• A sheet of tin cut 1 inch smaller than the size of the grill  
• 2 dozen oysters  
• A double thickness of burlap (large enough to cover oysters)  
• A spray bottle (to mist burlap)  
• Cocktail Sauce  
• Melted butter  
• Hot sauce  
• Saltine crackers      

Method

Scrub the oysters clean with a stiff brush under running water. Place tin on grill over a hot fire. Arrange oysters in the shell so all are in contact with the sheet of tin, cover with burlap, mist burlap with water, and cook 7 to 9 minutes. Uncover oysters, and remove from grill with long-handled tongs. Open and serve with Cocktail Sauce, melted butter, hot sauce, and saltine crackers.

Notes: Note: If you substitute heavy-duty aluminium foil for the tin, reduce cooking time to 5 to 7 minutes, or until the shells pop open.
