freezing point?
you mean gelling point?
it totally varies depending on the quality of the grease
I've had stuff that was fully liquid in the dead of winter, and stuff  
that had a hard time pouring in the middle of summer

I run WVO straight in a 2-tank system
doesn't matter much whether the gel point is 30°f or 80°f if you're  
heating it to 160°f

filtering it properly removes a lot of the heavier fats that tend to  
gel up
