Seriously, how do y'all do it? Our roast don't look like the one in the picture, but it's the same MO. They appear to be the cashmere sweater type.

We build a bed of coals, usually with Black Jack, throw a sheet of tin over it then dump the Oysters on and cover with a wet Croaker sack until they start to open. Then dump them on the table and fly to it.

Ours is a much more messy affair than the one in the picture. lol We tend to get a lot closer to the food than they.

You wear the gloves because those Oyster shells are usually still pretty hot, and if you have to go in through the back door to get it open, a novice will most likely slice his hand.

Not roasts, per se, but we like to grill them on the half shell like some of the local restaurants do.

Call Captain Sid's in Bucktown.

yeah their transportation methods are state of the art these days. I mean they only pile them in a warm burlap sack in the sun for a max of 12 hours in the summertime.

The risk is from infection with Vibrio sp. The bacteria grow better in warmer conditions, but can also be found in cold months. Raw Oyster Myths & Facts

Get a sack...shuck one, eat it raw with hot sauce and lemon juice, shuck another put it aside on ice on the half shell to throw on the grill later...repeat process until sack is empty...then grill 'em.
