Arteflame Flat-Top Insert

This insert is specifically engineered to fit Weber Kettle charcoal grills. It is designed to sit securely within the grill bowl, replacing or sitting atop your existing grate system.

Yes, because the surface is raw, food-grade carbon steel rather than a non-stick coated material, it requires seasoning before its first use. You will need to coat it with oil and heat it to build up a natural, non-stick patina over time, similar to a cast-iron skillet.

No, this insert is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should clean it by scraping off debris while warm and wiping it down with a light coat of oil after each use.

The two-piece design allows you to cook simultaneously using two different methods. The outer carbon steel ring acts as a flat-top griddle for items like eggs, pancakes, or vegetables, while the center grate allows you to sear steaks or burgers directly over the charcoal flame.

It is not pre-coated with any non-stick chemicals. However, once you properly season the carbon steel and maintain it with regular oiling, it will develop a natural, highly effective non-stick surface that improves with every cook.

While the steel is durable and rust-resistant, it is still carbon steel. If left exposed to the elements for extended periods without a protective layer of oil or a grill cover, it can develop surface rust, so proper maintenance is key.
