Know before you buy
The cooktop requires seasoning with oil to build a natural, non-stick patina, similar to a cast-iron skillet. After each use, scrape off food residue while the surface is still warm, wipe it clean, and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
Yes, the Arteflame is designed to function as a social fire bowl once the cooking is finished. Simply remove the center grill grate if you prefer a more open flame, or leave it in place to enjoy the warmth and ambiance of a wood-burning fire.
The center grate is positioned directly over the fire, reaching temperatures of 1,000°F+ for high-heat searing. The surrounding flat-top surface is cooler, allowing you to sauté vegetables, toast buns, or slow-cook items while simultaneously searing your proteins in the center.
This grill is designed to be used with hardwood or lump charcoal. Hardwood is recommended for the best flavor and to achieve the high temperatures necessary for a proper steakhouse-style sear.
The spun stainless steel fire bowl is highly durable and resistant to corrosion, making it well-suited for outdoor environments. While it is built to last, we recommend using a grill cover when not in use to keep the cooktop clean and protected from the elements.
With a 40-inch diameter cooktop, this grill offers a massive surface area that can easily accommodate cooking for large groups. You can comfortably prepare food for 10 to 20 people simultaneously by utilizing the different temperature zones across the flat-top.
