One of my favorite restaurant meals as a teenager was smoked oysters at a
barbecue joint in Jacksonville Beach, FL. They were just laid on a grid
over smokey wood coals until the opened then served piled up on metal beer
trays. No reason why one couldn't do mussels exactly the same way?

Inside, I would attempt to smoke them in a pot with a foil packet of brown
sugar.
