Description
Great outdoor cooking isn't just about the grill — it's about the setup around it. Without a dedicated surface for tools, resting food, and prep work, even the best grill session turns into a juggling act that slows you down and clutters your space.
The Arteflame Side Warming Table solves that problem with a modular stainless steel shelf that locks directly underneath the cooktop. Each segment covers 90 degrees of your grill's perimeter, and up to four segments can be added for a complete wrap-around workspace — so your setup scales exactly as far as you need it to.
This isn't a generic side table bolted on as an afterthought. It's engineered specifically for the Arteflame, integrating seamlessly with the grill's design and built from all-stainless steel to match its durability and aesthetic.
For STR hosts running outdoor kitchens as a guest-facing amenity, a well-organized, intentional grill station reads immediately in listing photos — and the Side Warming Table is what takes a standalone grill and turns it into a complete outdoor cooking setup.
A Modular Stainless Steel Side Table That Grows With Your Grill Setup
Most grill accessories are fixed in size and function. The Arteflame Side Warming Table is different — it's a modular system that lets you build exactly the workspace configuration your cooking style and property layout require.
How the 90-Degree Segment System Works
Each Side Warming Table unit covers one 90-degree segment of your Arteflame grill's perimeter. That means you can add one segment for a single dedicated workspace, two for an L-shaped setup, or go all the way to four segments for a full wrap-around surface.
That modularity matters because no two grill setups are identical. A compact patio might only have room for one or two segments, while a larger outdoor kitchen can take full advantage of all four.
Each table is sold per 90-degree segment, so you buy exactly what you need and expand later as your setup evolves. No overcommitting, no wasted spend.
Seamless Integration That Locks Directly Onto the Arteflame Cooktop
The Side Warming Table doesn't sit beside your grill — it locks underneath the cooktop, integrating directly into the Arteflame's structure. That connection keeps the table stable, eliminates wobble, and ensures the surface stays exactly where it needs to be during a full cook session.
Installation is straightforward and requires no tools or complicated adjustments. You spend more time cooking and less time setting up — which is exactly the right trade-off for a busy host managing outdoor kitchen turnover between guests.
The result is a grill station that looks intentional and functions like a single cohesive unit, rather than a grill with a table pushed up against it.
More Workspace, Better Flow, Smoother Outdoor Cooking Sessions
A dedicated side surface changes how you cook outdoors. Tools have a home, resting food stays warm and accessible, and the chaotic shuffle between grill and prep area disappears entirely.
A Dedicated Surface for Food Holding, Tools, and Prep
The Side Warming Table gives you a stable, heat-adjacent surface to keep grilled food warm while the next round cooks. Proteins resting, tools within reach, a cold drink close by — everything organized and accessible without leaving the grill.
That kind of workflow organization makes a genuine difference during a high-volume cook. Less time hunting for tongs, less food going cold on a plate across the yard, and a smoother overall experience for both the cook and the guests watching.
For STR hosts, a grill station that functions this cleanly also photographs beautifully. A styled outdoor kitchen with intentional workspace signals to prospective guests that your property is set up for a real experience — not just a basic backyard.
What Hosts Need to Know Before Buying
There is one important compatibility note to be aware of before purchasing: the vinyl cover for the Arteflame fire pit will not fit with the Side Warming Tables installed. If you use a vinyl cover for off-season or weather protection, you'll need to remove the tables before covering the grill.
This is a straightforward trade-off — the tables are designed for active cooking setups, not permanent leave-in-place installations. If your property runs year-round outdoor cooking, a Corten steel cover may be a better long-term pairing alongside the Side Warming Tables.
Each table has a 10 lb weight limit per segment, so it's well-suited for tools, food resting, and light prep — but not intended as a heavy-duty prep station for large cutting boards or cast iron cookware.
Who This Is For (and Who It's Not)
This side warming table is perfect if you:
✔ Own an Arteflame grill and want a purpose-built, integrated workspace that scales with your setup
✔ Cook for groups outdoors and need a dedicated surface for food holding, tools, and flow management
✔ Want a modular system that lets you start with one segment and expand as needed
✔ Manage STR properties where a polished, complete outdoor kitchen setup is part of the guest experience
This may not be right if you:
✖ Rely on a vinyl cover for your Arteflame and don't want to remove tables between uses — the cover won't fit with tables installed
✖ Need a heavy-duty prep surface — the 10 lb per segment weight limit isn't suited for large cookware or cutting boards
✖ Are looking for a universal side table compatible with multiple grill brands — this is designed exclusively for the Arteflame
