Pop-Open Barbecue Clams

1. 1

   Scrub clams under cool running water. Discard any gaping clams that don't close when cleaned.

2. 2

   Place a bowl with clams, a basket with baguette slices, small forks, and napkins alongside barbecue grill. Place butter in a small pan on a cool section of grill.

3. 3

   Have guests set clams on grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill.

4. 4

   Cook clams until they pop wide open, 6 to 8 minutes. Pick up clams, using tongs or napkins to protect fingers, drain juices into butter, then pluck clams from shells, dip in butter, and eat.

5. 5

   When all the clams are cooked, dip bread into butter.
