A 'specific' oil's smoke point is the temperature at which it will stop glistening and start to burn and smoke instead, imparting an acrid (unpleasant taste and smell), meaning burned flavor to the foods you are using it to cook. This will occur when the compounds in the oil break down as a result of 'too much' heat exposure.
Before you put up as much cooking oil as you can, consider what you will be cooking and how you will be cooking it in a grid down situation, which means there would be no electricity. What now? You may have a couple of favorites, so there is no Good sense in putting up oils that you really do not use.
The only time I use Sesame Oil is when I am making a 'Terijaki Marinade' and that's using only 1 Tbsp. every time I make it, but we do LOVE it. I marinade chicken breasts and then freeze them, two (2) per ZipLoc. A few bottles of Sesame Oil for long-term should do the trick.
I do use a lot of Bacon Grease, Butter, Canola Oil, Ghee (Clarified Butter), Olive Oil and Coconut Oil. I have peanut oil, but I have never used it. Put up what you will use.
I make my own Ghee (it is so easy), which you can find a ton of YouTube videos to make your own. It's too easy not to do it yourself.
Air, Light, Heat and Water are the enemies of cooking oils. Keep all oils tightly sealed in a cool, dark place. If they come in a translucent bottle, wrap them in foil to extend the shelf life. And DO NOT store your cooking oils on the stove.
