What type of oil is best for outdoor griddle (Blackstone)

Couple of questions for a newbie.
What is the best type of oil for seasoning and then for cooking.
I am assuming that it is the same but wanted to make sure.

I use avocado or canola for both cooking and seasoning...you need an oil with a high smoke point...

Avocado for seasoning, then cooking, then oiling after cooking. Use tallow and butter a lot for cooking as well. Always use avocado for oiling after.

as the others said, avocado oil. It’s all I use on mine

high heat oils, so avocado oil would probably the best route

Initial seasoning with Crisco. Cook with bacon grease, beef tallow or canola and use canola after cooking and cleaning.

Grapeseed oil is another good one. Neutral flavor and high smoke point.
I don't use canola anymore on the grill. I noticed that when I used it on a flattop or such with high heat, the canola oil smells fishy.
AI agrees: "Yes, canola oil can smell fishy, particularly when heated, because the high level of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the oil can oxidize and form a fishy odor."

Lard or tallow.

I have been using sunflower and it has worked really well.

quote:both are excellent to cook with but have a lower smoke point than avocado oil which is made from the flesh not the seed. I use tallow almost every day inside the kitchen but it will burn on a 4 burner blackstone…at least on mine it does.
Lard or tallow. I try to avoid seed oils
also unless you are rendering your own both tallow and lard when bought in the store have been highly processed. Which is exactly the issue with seed oils. Tallow is easier to render than lard, all you need is a whole packer brisket

grape seed, avocado or mineral oil.

I don’t buy my lard or tallow from the store - I get it from a local slaughterhouse.
Store bought is crap and way too expensive.
I haven’t had any issues with it burning on my loco - I will have to try avocado oil though - it probably goes a longer way.

I use this, but be careful - there is much less viscosity compared to olive oil. In other words, it splashes a lot easier. Splashed hot grease is really painful on your hands, also nearby children and pets. Be careful.
