I'm not so sure that the results would be better for pie crust with butter
or coconut oil. My guess is that suet or lard would work great for a
shortcrust but the idea kinda grosses me out.

Try it I have used lard in my pastry all my life I use lard and
butter and some olive oil for frying but the other things I read about
grosses me
out big time <g>

Suet is good for savoury puddings We had margarine when I was a kid. I
hated and have never bought it since, even when there was a big cry about
butter being bad for us. Odd how they have changed their minds)
