What oil does Smokey Mo's BBQ fry in?
Smokey Mo's BBQ has no deep fryer.
In detail: No published oil disclosure. Smoked meats use beef/pork fat. The chain sells no fried item any more (Fried Okra is gone from the menu, the March 2024 nutrition guide and the allergen chart; chips are bagged), so oil only enters through mayo-based sides: the guide's potato salad (8 g fat / 1 g sat) and cole slaw (11 g / 1.5 g) panels read as soybean-oil mayonnaise.

Why the frying oil matters
Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Smokey Mo's BBQ report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
