Description
Your Arteflame fire pit grill is already a showstopper. But without the center grill grate, you're leaving the best part of the cooking surface unused. This insert is what turns your cooktop into a true high-heat grilling station.
Made from laser-cut, cold-rolled US Steel in a single-sheet construction, this grate is engineered to sit directly over the open flame. That design isn't just durable — it's the reason it can sustain temperatures that cast iron simply can't handle.
Available in 10", 14", and 18" diameters to fit all 20", 30", and 40" Arteflame grills, it's a drop-in upgrade that works with what you already own. No modifications, no guesswork — just more cooking power.
A Carbon Steel Grill Grate That Hits 1,000°F for Serious Outdoor Searing
The Arteflame center grill grate sits directly over the open fire, reaching temperatures above 1,000°F (500°C). That's not campfire cooking — that's the same searing heat used in professional steakhouse kitchens.
Why Carbon Steel Outperforms Cast Iron for High-Heat Grilling
Cast iron has a reputation, but it has a ceiling. Under extreme heat, cast iron can crack or warp — exactly the conditions this grate is built for. Cold-rolled carbon steel handles that heat without flinching.
The laser-cut, single-sheet construction means there are no joints, no weak points, and no uneven hot spots. Heat distributes consistently across the entire grate surface. That consistency is what gives you a proper sear instead of a patchy crust.
For STR hosts, that difference matters more than it sounds. A guest who watches a ribeye come off the grill with a perfect crust remembers it. That's the kind of detail that ends up in a five-star review.
Precision Fit Across All Arteflame Grill Sizes
This grate isn't a universal-fit compromise — it's sized specifically for Arteflame cooktops. The 10" grate fits all 20" Arteflame grills, the 14" fits all 30" models, and the 18" fits all 40" models. Select your size and it drops straight in.
The center position over the flame is where the highest heat lives on an Arteflame cooktop. Placing the grate there gives you a dedicated searing zone while the flat cooktop around it handles everything else. It's a two-zone cooking setup without any extra equipment.
The Outdoor Cooking Upgrade STR Guests Actually Notice
Guests don't write reviews about grills. They write reviews about the experience of using them. A cooktop that can sear a steak, grill shrimp, and char vegetables at professional temperatures is the kind of amenity that gets described in detail.
What a 1,000°F Sear Does for Your Guest Experience
There's a specific sound and smell that comes from food hitting a properly heated grill grate. Guests recognize it — it signals quality before the food even hits the plate. That's what this grate delivers every time it's used.
Steaks, burgers, seafood, vegetables — all of them benefit from the direct high heat this insert provides. It expands what's cookable on your Arteflame setup without adding complexity. Guests with any grilling skill level can get great results.
For hosts competing on amenities, this is the kind of detail that photographs well, impresses in person, and earns the mention in a review that nudges your next booking.
Virtually Maintenance-Free Carbon Steel That Lasts
Carbon steel is low drama. It doesn't rust out, it doesn't need special cleaners, and it doesn't require seasoning rituals after every use. Light maintenance keeps it performing season after season.
For STR hosts managing multiple properties, that matters. An accessory that requires constant attention is an accessory that gets neglected — or replaced. This grate is built to stay in rotation without adding to your workload.
US Steel construction means it was built to a quality standard, not a price point. You're not replacing this at the start of next season.
Who This Is For (And Who It's Not)
This grill grate is perfect if you:
✔ Already own an Arteflame 20", 30", or 40" fire pit grill
✔ Want to add a dedicated high-heat searing zone to your outdoor cooking setup
✔ Manage an STR property and want an amenity that guests genuinely engage with
✔ Cook proteins — steaks, burgers, seafood — that benefit from direct flame heat
This may not be right if you:
✖ Don't own an Arteflame grill — this insert is designed exclusively for Arteflame cooktops
✖ Prefer low-and-slow cooking styles where high heat isn't the goal
✖ Are looking for a full grill setup — this is a center insert, not a standalone grill
What Owning This Looks Like
Picture your outdoor kitchen the way guests describe it in the review that earns you Superhost. The fire's lit, the cooktop is hot, and the center grate is glowing at steakhouse temperature. That's not a backyard grill — that's an experience worth booking for.
- Searing ribeyes and strip steaks at 1,000°F+ for a perfect steakhouse-quality crust
- Grilling shrimp, scallops, and fish directly over the flame without losing them through the grate
- Running a two-zone cook — high-heat sear in the center, gentle finish on the flat cooktop
- Giving guests an outdoor cooking setup they photograph, talk about, and come back for
This is one insert. It unlocks everything your Arteflame cooktop was designed to do.
