Oysters Kilpatrick

Oysters Kilpatrick is an Aussie classic, and a quick, smoky spin on the BBQ makes it even better. Fresh oysters on the half shell get a rich, buttery Worcestershire glaze and crispy diced bacon, then a gentle kiss of smoke. Salty, savoury and a little bit indulgent, they're the starter that disappears first at Christmas lunch, summer parties and any festive get-together.

Set up your BBQ for indirect cooking at 110°C. Melt butter with Corporal Freddie's Worcestershire Sauce, crisp up the bacon, then sit the oysters on a Nordic Ware Eighth Sheet Pan. Our trick: crimp a bed of Misty Gully Super Heavy Duty Foil so the shells don't tip and spill. Spoon on the sauce and bacon, drop a Natural Smoke Aussie Oak chunk onto your B&B Oak Briquettes and cook for 15–20 minutes. A dash of Barbecue Mafia The Capo adds a vinegary kick.

Pit notes

Keep them level. Crimp foil around the shells so the oysters sit flat and hold their juices.

Low and gentle. Cook indirect at about 110°C: you want them warmed through and smoky, not rubbery.

Bit of heat. The Que Club's tip: add a dash of Tabasco or your favourite hot sauce if you like a kick.
