Smoking oysters first time

[noble captain]

We are from south louisiana and my neighbor is a oyster fishermen, my husband and I are both captain's, and we hunt. Yesterday I decided to cook a 15 lb brisket and we have a whole sack of oysters that we have been eating raw. We usually eat them raw and shuck the rest to freeze and cook later. Today I added them to the smoker. Wow. What a traet. So I decided to share.
The smoker is at 235 to 250 we added them a tray at a time to figure out how smokiness we wanted and how cooked. Turns out at this temp. It takes a little over an hour the bigger oysters take about 90 min . The marinade is chardonnay hot sauce and olive oil. With a mop. They are great. Then becouse we have so many we have added some micro pained garlic and scallions even better .

Oh my goodness those look fantastic.
I just love oysters any way you make them.
I'm like you, I usually eat them raw, but have never smoked them.
I'm going to have to try this!
Congrats on making the carousel!

Thank you,
We ended up with so many I put them in two jars of extra virgin olive oil with some sprigs of lemon time and rosemary and som garlic. I cant wait to get in on them again.

The brisket came out a little dry. Great bark and flavor but a little dry.

We used to have several oyster bars around our NE Florida area but they've all but disappeared.
Wife likes 'em raw and I like slightly steamed so they're easier to open. I also like a bit of Tabasco or horseradish for the bite.
Never had 'em smoked but I plan to change that soon.

That looks delicious! The brisket looks to be a little underdone. The connective tissue hasn't broken down. Great smoke ring!

Wow! I LOVE smoked oysters.
Those look Great Captain!
And I'd like some Brisket, too.
Dry is OK, it's just a different style. I sure wouldn't complain, I'd just bring more beer or wine or sweet tea to the table.
Gravy is nice, too.
Nice smoke rings!
Smoked Oysters on the Half Shell! You just gave my Doctor a stroke. LOL!
