Arteflame Classic 40-Inch Corten Steel Grill and Griddle with Storage Base

A 40-inch wood-fired grill and griddle at standing cooking height: a center grill grate over the fire for searing, surrounded by a ½-inch steel cooktop with 1,250+ sq in of flat cooking space. The Corten storage base raises it to 40 inches and keeps firewood and tools within reach, and the fire bowl lifts off to become a fire pit after dinner.

Sear over a 1,000°F+ grate while the ring around it griddles

The grate over the fire passes 1,000°F for steaks and chops. Out on the cooktop, Arteflame measured about 450 to 550°F near the inner edge and 250 to 350°F toward the rim, so smash burgers, eggs, fish and vegetables cook alongside the steak and finished food stays warm at the edge. Grease lands on steel, not in the fire, so there are no flare-ups on the griddle.

The storage base puts it at 40 inches and holds the firewood

At bar height you cook standing up with guests around you, and the round cooktop has no front or back, so eight or more people can gather at it. The base is 10-gauge Corten like the bowl, and its open interior holds firewood or tools.

Best for hosts who want one centerpiece instead of a grill and a fire pit

Choose it if you cook for groups and want the grill to look like sculpture when it is not in use. If you want a bright finish rather than a weathered one, the 40-Inch Stainless Steel Grill and Griddle with Storage Base cooks the same way with a stainless bowl.

Before you order: freight delivery, seasoning and a 30 to 45 minute warm-up

It is heavy and ships freight, so plan for help placing it on pavers, concrete or gravel rather than a wood deck. Season the cooktop with the included puck, and give the ½-inch steel 30 to 45 minutes to heat through before you cook.
