Olive oil in a smoker?

[RickN]

I was given a wine bottle size extra virgin olive oil. I have never used it because it's smoke point is to low but I was wondering if it would be okay in a smoker. I don't believe the temp gets above 275 so I think the oil would be okay. Any comments or expirances from the smoke masters here.

Most of the rest of you can (and will) chime in too.

Your good to go with that olive oil. It will help chicken skin get crispy as well as help with the bark on pork butt.

I use it all the time with zero issues.

Yep, it's fine to use.

I use it all the time as well, my smoker has a feature that claims it be over 450 degrees but it makes me laugh as it ain't happening, at least not since I have owned it.

Try some olive oil, slap yo mamma seasoning and coat some cheez-it crackers smoked at about 225 degrees for 15 minutes, stir/shake mildly and repeat until your desired smokiness and crispness. It is a game changer with some good tri-tip chili.

Sounds great but the wife is a wimp. I get a little to much black pepper on something and she can not eat it. I do plan to try smoking some zucchini chips soon. I think it will make a great low carb snack.

Use it in salad dressing or put some roasted garlic in it and dip quality bread in it.

Do not care for either, but thanks.
