Barbecue is a common method in cooking meat, chicken, fish and some vegetables by using the heat generated from a wood, charcoal or compressed wood pellets. It is a much slower version than grilling. The meat or items needed to be cooked is placed on top of a barbecue grill where hot coals of charcoal or wood are beneath it. When cooking through barbecue it is best to use oil that has a high smoke point, frying oil may be considered. Oil is used so that the meat will not stick to the grate. Oils for frying have high smoke points compared to other oils, thus if you wipe it on a heated grill it will not burst to flames and burn off easily. Aside from choosing oil with high smoke point, also check if the oil to be use will not affect the taste of your food.
