Smoke point: reaching this temperature the oil support a thermal dissociation (and degradation) process: formation of glycerol and fatty acids, acrolein, etc. A great smoke point is a quality for an edible oil. Flash point: temperature of combustion; the flash point is of course greater than the smoke point.

Will peanut oil burn?

The flash point is the temperature at which a liquid gives off an ignitable vapor. It is NOT the smoke point, nor the ignition point. Unrefined peanut oil has a smoke point (temperature at which it begins to break down, give off smoke) of 320 degrees Fahrenheit, while refined peanut oil has a smoke point of 448 degrees Fahrenheit. The ignition point of both oils is 700 degrees Fahrenheit, and the flash point 600 degrees Fahrenheit.
