Dwayne I didn't state my answer very well. Some days weeks times the brain goes on vacation and fails to return in a timely manner.
I was not even thinking of flax oil, which I wouldn't touch with a 20 foot pole. (although I think the problems with flax oil are not solely related to smoke point, but more to the polymerization properties of the oil, which cause the seasoning to fail over time, in spite of what 'some experts say... SC ;)....)
I do high heat seasoning, at 500°, so I am looking to use an oil OTHER THAN FLAX, that has a smoke point below 500°. (475° or lower) I want to see that carbonization begin with 'smoke' at initial application.
Crisco shortening probably has a higher smoke point than one might think, due to having palm oil as an ingredient. The newer PAM spray which is Canola oil, also has added Palm Oil as an ingredient
Safflower and Avocado Oils have smoke points above 500° and I would think that getting those oils to carbonize might be difficult.... but I don't feel the need to experiment. Stick with what works for you.... :)
