Arteflame Classic 40" Grill — Tall Round Base

The Arteflame Classic 40" Grill with Tall Round Base is a wood-fired grill and griddle in one: a center grill grate for searing, surrounded by a 40" flat steel cooktop with 1,250+ sq in of space for 8 or more people. The sculpted round base in CORTEN steel raises it to 40", bar height, for cooking standing up with guests around you. After dinner, lift off the cooktop and it becomes a fire pit.

Grill and griddle in one

• Sear over the fire: a wood or charcoal fire burns in the center under a removable grill grate that passes 1,000°F, for steaks, chops and burgers.
• Griddle around it: the flat-top ring gives 1,250+ sq in for eggs, pancakes, smash burgers, fish and vegetables, with nothing falling through the grates.
• Built-in heat zones: measured on an Arteflame Classic 40, the cooktop runs about 450–550°F near the inner edge and 250–350°F toward the outer edge, so you can sear, cook and keep food warm at the same time.
• No flare-ups on the cooktop: the steel sits between the fire and the food, so grease cannot drip into the flames.
• Fire pit after dinner: lift off the cooktop and enjoy an open fire.

Design and materials

The fire bowl and base are 10-gauge CORTEN (weathering) steel, about 3.4 mm thick, which forms a protective rust-colored patina and needs no paint. The cooktop is a separate ½" plate of hot-rolled steel, not CORTEN, designed to last a lifetime.

Care

Season the cooktop like cast iron with the included seasoning puck. After cooking, scrape it clean while warm and wipe on a light coat of oil to build a natural, low-stick patina. Allow 30–45 minutes for the steel to heat through before cooking.
