Know before you buy
Yes, the Arteflame XL is designed to function as both a high-performance grill and an outdoor fire pit. Once you remove the cooktop or finish your meal, you can add more wood or charcoal to enjoy the fire bowl as a social centerpiece.
Corten steel is designed to develop a protective rust-like patina that prevents further corrosion, making it extremely durable for outdoor use. While it is weather-resistant, we recommend using a cover during the off-season to keep the cooktop clean and ready for your next use.
Cleaning is straightforward: while the cooktop is still warm, scrape off any food residue into the fire, then wipe it down with a light coating of oil. This process keeps the surface seasoned and prevents rust, much like a traditional cast-iron skillet.
Yes, the circular cooktop features a temperature gradient. The area closest to the center fire bowl is the hottest for searing steaks, while the outer edges are cooler, allowing you to slow-cook vegetables or keep finished items warm simultaneously.
The Arteflame XL is designed for minimal assembly. Most users can have it set up and ready for its first seasoning in just a few minutes, as it consists of a few primary components that fit together securely.
This extreme heat allows you to achieve a professional-grade crust on meats while keeping the interior tender. It mimics the performance of high-end steakhouse broilers, which is difficult to replicate on standard gas or charcoal grills.
