The other night I had the best appetizer - an oyster with swiss cheese, wrapped in bacon and fried.  I have this idea that they would be even better in the smoker (because most things are).  So I'm thinking take a fresh oyster, top with a sliver of cheese, then wrap in a half slice of partially cooked bacon and smoke for 1/2 hour.

Anyone see a flaw in my plan?  I'm going to practice before I make them for a party, but less trial and error with the expensive oysters is better.

Thanks!

It goes up to 275.  Your suggestion makes sense so the bacon cooks but the oyster stays juicy.

Update:

I half-cooked the bacon and made the Angels.  Smoked them at 275 for 20 minutes and they were perfect!
