uncooked oysters and smoke these myself....need a recipe and temps.

After my own heart! Last Spring, a friend and I travelled back to his
hometown on the waterfront of Virginia for their annual Oyster Fest
and we feasted on raw oysters (definitely and acquired taste) roasted
oyster, oyster stew and smoked oysters.  From that day on, I have been
a huge fan!

Below I have provided a couple of recipes and techniques for smoked
oysters.

From FreshFish4U.com
http://www.chamtech1.com/fishnet/recipes/oysters/oyster_smoking_2.shtml:

"Ingredients:
  1/2 c. water
  1/2 c. white wine
  a few tea leaves


Instructions:
Poach oysters in a solution of water and white wine for one minute.
Drain and place oysters onto a rack that will fit into a large pan.
The pan should have a tight fitting lid, as the lid will help to hold
the smoke into the pot while smoking. In the bottom of the pan, place
some wood chips that have been soaked in water. The water will help
with generating the smoke. Also throw a handful of dry tealeaves in
with the wood chips. Place the rack on top of the wood chips and
tealeaves. Do not have the rack too close to the chips. Place the
oysters onto the rack and put the pan on the heat. Low heat is best.
You want to get the wood and tea to smoke, but not to burst into the
flames. Smoke oysters for about 15 minutes. This method will produce
alot of smoke, so it is best done outside. Also it makes a mess of the
pan. Use an old pan or one that will clean up without a lot of elbow
grease."

Also from FreshFish4U.com

"Ingredients:
  1/2 c. water
  1/4 c. brandy wine
  1/8 c. brown sugar
  1 tbsp. liquid smoke


Instructions:
  Oysters have very high water content so drain them very well. Place
the oysters in a strainer over night in the refridgerator. In a pot,
mix together all ingredients and bring to boil, stirring over low
heat. Drain oysters and lay onto a cookie sheet, and bake in oven for
8 minutes at 350."

Toss favorite oysters in 1-tablespoon olive oil with sea salt and
coarse ground black pepper. In a smoker/grill place oysters and pine
nuts on a sheet of foil. Toss favorite smoke chips (mesquite, hickory,
cherry or apple) that have been soaked in water over flame and cover.
Smoke oyster over a low temperature for about 10 minutes or until
firm. Remove, separate oysters and nuts and let cool.

"smoking oysters on grill

Heat grill. Soak mesquite chips in water overnight and place on hot
coals in a smoker box. This will help with the smoking process. Turn
grill on medium to high heat.

Place oysters on grill and pour enough champagne over them to cover in
liquid. Let cook until edges are curled (10 minutes). Turn heat on
grill to low/medium.

Place ¼-inch slice of lemon butter on top of oyster and let melt and
cook for 3-5 minutes; then sprinkle crushed pistachios over oysters
and let cook another 2 minutes. Serve hot with Melba toast or slices
of French bread."
