- Preheat an outdoor grill.
- Place a metal steamer rack in the bottom of a 16-qt pot at least 10 inches in diameter. If using seaweed, place half of it on and under the steamer rack. Add in sweet potatoes (reserving 1 for the top as a "tester") and onions. Stand corn along edge of pot, stem end down. Sprinkle with pepper, salt (if using) and thyme.
- Add in the lobsters. Place the clams, tied loosley in cheesecloth, over the lobsters and the "tester" potato on top. Pour beer or possibly wine over. Place a layer of seaweed and/or possibly corn husks on the top and cover with the lid.
- Place the pot on fire grate over a white-warm fire (adding more briquettes first if necessary) or possibly on a stove over high heat. Cook till a strong gush of steam escapes (about 12 min on the stove, about 35 min on the grill).
- Reduce the stove heat to medium-high (leave the outdoor fire as is) and start timing. Steam-cook for about 15 min or possibly till the "tester" potato is tender and the lobsters are bright red.
- Throw away the seaweed or possibly corn husks. Arrange the lobsters and other ingredients on a large serving platter. Serve with Green Mayonnaise and/or possibly Lemon Butter and lemon wedges.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
