From Manners and Customs of the Bible:

Leviticus 6:14. This is the law of the meat offering.
The meat offering was wholly vegetable in its nature, and was sometimes presented in a raw state and sometimes baked. Specific directions were given concerning the ceremonies to be observed in either case. A portion only was consumed in the fire, and the rest was given to the priest. Neither leaven nor honey was allowed to be mixed with it. It usually accompanied and was subsidiary to the sin and burnt offerings, and the quantity offered was graduated according to the victim presented as a burnt offering (Num. 15:4-9).
It is supposed that oil was used to give the meat offering a grateful relish; and frankincense to make a sweet odor in the court of the Tabernacle. Paul alludes to the fragrant meat offering in Philippians 4:18. The heathen used oil in their sacrifices, not mixed with flour, but poured over the burnt offerings, to make the burning better. They likewise made free use of frankincense in their sacrifices. Full directions concerning the meat offering are given in Leviticus 2:1-16; 6:14-23.

Ministry Nuggets:

• the meat offering speaks to us of the perfect, sinless humanity of the Lord Jesus—what He was as a man here on earth, but as offered to God (“Christ as Seen in the Offerings: Meat Offering” by R.F. Kingscote)
• He and He alone as born here below was absolutely untainted, the Holy One of God; and this He preserved in the power of the Holy Spirit all through and presented as an oblation to God. (“Chapter 5. The Oblation: Leviticus 2:1-3” by W. Kelly)
• This fire, as you know, represents testing judgment; and surely the blessed Lord was tested in all His path through this world, as also on the cross, and by death itself. (“Christ as Seen in the Offerings: Meat Offering” by R.F. Kingscote)
• he sweet perfume of that frankincense speaks to us of all the graces of the Lord Jesus, everything being perfectly acceptable to God (“Christ as Seen in the Offerings: Meat Offering” by R.F. Kingscote)
• Christ never had a word or deed to recall, never even a look or feeling to judge. He could say to His enemies, "Which of you convinceth me of sin? " …. He walked without a waver in the Spirit, never on the ground of rights, but in obedience. His food was to do the will of Him that sent Him and to finish His work. And this He did perfectly, an offering to God for a sweet-smelling savor; and this in entire rejection by man (“Chapter 5. The Oblation: Leviticus 2:1-3” by W. Kelly)
• Does not John 6 prove this, and much more than this type imports? "Most holy" was it, but not therefore kept from but given to Christ and His own to enjoy. And so' it is that those who have the entrance into the holies find in Christ Himself, and Christ here below as shown in the Gospels, their living priestly food. (“Chapter 5. The Oblation: Leviticus 2:1-3” by W. Kelly)
