Your outdoor space is a revenue-generating asset. Every detail guests interact with — from the furniture to the fire — shapes the review they leave and the rate you can charge. A grill that doubles as a fire feature is one of the highest-ROI additions you can make to any STR property.
The Arteflame One 20" isn't a standard backyard grill. It's a sculptural steel cooking station that anchors an entire outdoor living area. Designed and built in the USA from American steel, it brings a level of craftsmanship and visual weight that cheap imports simply can't match.
At 22.5" wide and weighing in at 65 lbs, this is a grill that commands attention. It burns wood or charcoal, seats guests at grill level for a social cooking experience, and converts to a fire bowl when the meal is done. One piece of equipment. Multiple reasons for guests to stay outside longer.
A Steel Fire Grill That Cooks, Entertains, and Earns 5-Star Reviews
The Arteflame One 20" is built around a simple idea — outdoor cooking should be an experience, not a chore. Its flat cooktop, open fire center, and fire bowl functionality make it the kind of amenity guests mention by name in their reviews.
From Flat Top Sear to Open Fire Bowl — One Grill, Endless Versatility
The cooktop is fully removable, which means this grill operates in multiple modes depending on what the evening calls for. Sear steaks on the flat steel surface, cook vegetables at the outer edge where heat is gentler, or lift the cooktop entirely and let the fire take center stage.
Wood and charcoal both work — guests can choose their fuel and their vibe. That flexibility is rare in a grill at this price point, and it's exactly the kind of detail that gets called out in listing descriptions and guest reviews.
The unique radial heat pattern means different temperature zones exist across the cooktop simultaneously. Proteins go in the center, sides stay warm on the outer ring — no juggling pans, no cold spots, no guesswork.
Sit-Down Grilling That Turns Outdoor Meals Into a Guest Experience
The Arteflame One is designed for sit-down grilling — guests pull up chairs and cook together at the grill surface, which turns a standard meal into a social event. It's the kind of interaction that makes a stay feel memorable rather than transactional.
For hosts who want a standing setup, an optional grill stand is available. That makes this grill adaptable to different patio layouts and group sizes without any permanent modification to the unit itself.
Listing photos with this grill in frame tell a story. Fire, food, and people gathered around a striking steel centerpiece — that's an image that drives click-throughs and sets booking expectations in exactly the right direction.
American-Made Steel Built to Live Outside Year-Round
The Arteflame One is constructed from 1/2" US steel — the same material specification used in industrial and commercial applications. This isn't decorative metalwork. It's a grill built to absorb heat, endure weather, and improve with age.
How 1/2" US Steel Develops a Self-Maintaining Patina Over Time
As the steel is exposed to heat and outdoor conditions, it develops a natural patina that seals the surface and becomes increasingly weather-resistant without any coating, paint, or treatment. This is a feature, not a flaw. The grill looks better the more it's used.
There's no powder coat to chip, no enamel to crack, and no finish to maintain between seasons. You can leave the Arteflame One outside year-round and return to it the following spring in the same condition you left it. That matters when you're managing multiple properties and don't have time for seasonal storage logistics.
For STR hosts, a maintenance-free outdoor asset is a meaningful operational advantage. Less time on upkeep means more time on the guest experience.
60-Second Cleanup and a Removable Cooktop That Makes Maintenance Effortless
The lift-and-remove cooktop tool lets you pull the cooking surface off cleanly after use. Any residue or drippings fall directly into the fire — the grill cleans itself as it burns. There are no grates to scrub, no grease traps to empty, and no multi-step post-cook process.
Cleanup takes approximately 60 seconds. For hosts turning over a property between bookings, that's a significant advantage over traditional grill setups that require more involved maintenance. Guests can use it freely without creating extra work for your cleaning team.
A seasoning puck is included with purchase to properly condition the cooktop before first use. That's the only preparation required before the grill is ready for guests.

FAQ's
Why choose an Arteflame Grill?
Arteflame Grills are crafted to:
Sear like a Steakhouse:Achieve temperatures exceeding 1,000°F on the center grill grate.
Grill Everything at Once:The unique design allows simultaneous cooking of various foods.
Infuse Rich, Smokey Flavor:Attain that deep steakhouse taste with a touch of smokiness.
Arteflame grills seamlessly address these concerns with an exquisite combination of grill and griddle. The center grill grate reaches scorching temperatures, while the solid steel cooktop varies from 450 at the inside edge to 250 at the outside edge, providing a versatile range for simultaneous cooking at different temperatures.
Beyond functionality, Arteflame grills boast stunning designs, serving as the focal point in any backyard. Moreover, they double as fire pits, adding another unique dimension that traditional grills lack. Experience the perfect blend of performance and aesthetics with Arteflame.
Arteflame Grill inserts
The Arteflame insert transforms your standard grill grate into a versatile combination of grill and griddle, ideal for a variety of dishes such as seafood, steaks, burgers, and veggies. Experience the convenience of grilling your entire meal simultaneously. The griddle's unique design lets you cook all your food at once, preserving its natural juices. By eliminating slots through which juices could fall into the fire, the griddle prevents flare-ups that could burn your food. Enjoy the benefits of a solid cooktop, perfect for achieving that delightful smoky flavor without the risk of burning.
Choosing Carbon Steel over Cast Iron
When deciding between carbon steel and cast iron for your cooktop, it's crucial to understand the key differences that make carbon steel a superior choice. While both materials excel in cooking and grilling, the varying carbon content sets them apart.
Carbon Steel contains around 1% carbon, whereas Cast Iron boasts 2%-3% carbon. This seemingly small difference significantly affects the metal's grain structure. In Cast Iron, the additional carbon tends to clump together into carbides, forming pockets of pure carbon (graphite). This process makes the metal hard, brittle, and prone to cracking.
Cast Iron is susceptible to cracks and breaks, especially when subjected to uneven heating. The stress caused by uneven thermal expansion, combined with pockets of carbon, leads to cracking. Cast Iron's brittleness is evident when dropped, as the high-carbon areas cannot withstand the shock.
In contrast, Carbon Steel's 1% carbon content makes it more resistant to these issues. The uniform grain structure in Carbon Steel is less susceptible to heat stress or shock. Additionally, Carbon Steel undergoes a rolling process in the steel mill, where it is forced between heavy rollers while hot. The subsequent cold-water dousing freezes the grain structure, enhancing its strength and durability. Even with uneven heat loads or accidental drops, Carbon Steel remains intact, ensuring a lifetime of use.
The susceptibility of Cast Iron to cracking and breaking is exacerbated by larger surface areas and thinner materials. In grills, where heat distribution is inherently uneven, Cast Iron becomes an impractical choice for inserts. This is why all Arteflame cooktops, inserts, griddles, and Burger Pucks are exclusively crafted from Carbon Steel, ensuring optimal performance and durability for a lifetime of use.
Getting a Fast, Hot Start The Arteflame lights fastest with the Arteflame Airlighter — light a charcoal mound dead-center, then add wood once the coals are glowing. A full charcoal chimney at the center (not a light dusting) is the biggest factor in a quick, high-heat cook. Most hosts report full searing temps in 15–20 minutes once the airflow gets going.
What is the Arteflame Grill made of?
Each Arteflame grill is crafted from CORTEN steel, also known as "weathering" steel. While this steel comes with a higher cost, its exceptional toughness and weather resistance make it a worthwhile investment. Specifically formulated for outdoor use, CORTEN steel develops a natural, enduring patina that adds to its beauty over time. There truly is no substitute for this unique and resilient steel.
Arteflame exclusively uses carbon steel for all cooktops, inserts, and grill grates, as it has demonstrated itself to be the optimal cooking material. Unlike cast iron, carbon steel does not break or crack. It also surpasses materials like aluminum, which can be harmful to the human body, and chrome-plated steel grates, which may contain cadmium. Moreover, carbon steel avoids the presence of lead found in porcelain-coated steel, making it the superior and safest choice for cooking.
Is Wood Used as Fuel?
Arteflame grills operate on a combination of wood and charcoal as fuel sources. Optimal choices for hardwoods include hickory, oak, maple, and fruit woods like peach, cherry, and apple. These hardwoods impart aromatic flavors to your cooking, allowing for a variety of taste experiences. It's advisable to steer clear of softwoods like pine due to their tendency to produce excessive smoke and embers. Additionally, manufactured logs, containing wax and fillers, should be avoided, especially when used for cooking, as they can pose potential harm.
What Sets Arteflame Cooktops Apart?
Arteflame employs a specialized manufacturing process for all grills and inserts, ensuring an exact and refined fit and finish. This process eliminates material imperfections and smooths all steel edges, preventing food particles from lodging and hiding. Although this method incurs higher costs, it guarantees the quality we aim for and that you expect from our products.
How Do I Season the Cooktop?
Seasoning the cooktop is essential for achieving a non-stick surface and preventing rust. The Arteflame Seasoning Puck is the easiest and most effective way to season the cooktop. Alternatively, you can use cooking oils like flaxseed or grapeseed oil. For detailed instructions, refer to the seasoning manual for a comprehensive guide.
Dealing with Rust on the Cooktop
The presence of rust on the cooktop indicates that the seasoning may have worn off. In most cases, remedying this issue is straightforward. Simply heat the cooktop to grilling temperature and scrape off any loose rust. Then, using a rag and cooking oil (we recommend grapeseed oil), wipe the cooktop until all rust is removed. This prepares the cooktop for the preseasoning process. Given that the cooktop is constructed from solid carbon steel, any rust is typically surface-level, and extensive sanding is rarely necessary.
Which Cooking Oils Are Suitable?
You can utilize any food-grade cooking oil for your Arteflame grill. However, it's essential to be mindful of potential nut allergies among future guests, making peanut oil less advisable. For effective cooktop seasoning, we particularly recommend using one of our specialized seasoning pucks. To maintain proper seasoning and prevent oxidation when the grill is not in use, a light coating of grapeseed oil is recommended.
Does It Require a Cover?
Once your cooktop is properly seasoned, oiled, and cleaned after each use, covering is not necessary. The Arteflame is designed to endure year-round outdoor exposure. We offer optional stainless lids for the grill's center and vinyl covers. Stainless lids prevent debris entry and help smother the fire after grilling, while vinyl covers contribute to prolonged rust resistance for the cooktop.
Is It Safe for Wood Decks?
For placement on wood/Tyvek decks or other flammable surfaces, we recommend using tiles or a grill mat under your Arteflame. The tall Euro base or the tall round base of the Classic 40 poses no direct issue on flammable surfaces, and the tall round base includes an ash catcher to prevent ash contact with your deck.
How do I clean out the wood and charcoal ashes from my grill?
Will My Arteflame Cause Stains on My Concrete Patio?
Each Arteflame is meticulously designed to ensure that the corten steel never directly contacts the surface it rests upon. Euro grills feature a stainless steel footer, while other Arteflame grills come with screw-in feet, lifting the grill above the ground. This design not only prevents stains but also facilitates airflow into the grill from below.
Will Grease Drain onto My Patio?
Every Arteflame cooktop is subtly dished, directing all excess grease to the center of the grill, where it safely burns off. The thoughtful design ensures that no grease escapes from the Arteflame.
Do I Need to Store My Arteflame Indoors During Winter?
No, Arteflame grills are built to withstand outdoor exposure throughout the year. If not in use for extended periods, we recommend applying grapeseed oil regularly to keep the cooktop well-seasoned. For winter use, covering your Arteflame with our stainless steel or vinyl cover will prevent it from filling up with snow. If you observe surface oxidization after prolonged periods of non-use, ignite a fire in the Arteflame, bring it up to temperature, scrape off any oxidization, and rub the cooktop with cooking oil to clean and re-season it.
Why Do Prices in Europe Appear Different from Those in the US?
In Europe, quoted prices include all taxes, which can be substantial, sometimes adding up to an additional 22%. In the US, we always sell products excluding any applicable taxes, with some variations in exchange rates and shipping fees. When considering these factors, the apparent price differences between Europe and the US are actually negligible.
As an additional safety measure, you can place sand or stones in the bottom of your Arteflame to catch any loose embers. However, low bases are not recommended for wooden or manufactured decks, as they function as fire pits, transferring heat to the deck. Using stone/concrete tiles or a grill mat underneath any Arteflame grill is recommended for safety.
