Arteflame Classic Base Fire Pit

The Arteflame uses a circular steel cooktop that heats up as the wood burns in the center. You can cook directly on the ring while the fire is active, or simply enjoy the open fire for warmth once you're finished grilling.

While the stainless steel is highly weather-resistant, it will develop a natural patina over time when exposed to the elements. To keep it looking pristine and protect the cooking surface from debris, we recommend using a dedicated cover when the unit is not in use.

The 40-inch diameter provides a significant cooking surface and fire bowl, so it is best suited for medium-to-large patios or backyards. Ensure you have at least a few feet of clearance on all sides to allow for comfortable seating and safe movement around the grill.

While the unit is designed primarily for wood, you can use charcoal. However, wood is recommended to achieve the best flavor profile and to maintain the high heat required for the circular cooktop's performance.

Cleaning is straightforward: simply scrape any food residue into the fire while the cooktop is still warm. Once cool, wipe it down with a light coating of vegetable oil to prevent rust and keep the surface seasoned for your next cook.

The unit arrives in sections and requires some assembly to attach the cooktop to the base. It is a straightforward process, but because of the weight of the stainless steel components, we recommend having two people on hand to safely maneuver the pieces.
