The Arteflame Classic 40" Fire Pit with Cooktop combines an open wood or charcoal fire with a massive flat-top carbon-steel cooking surface — giving you a serious outdoor cooking station and a fire feature in a single, American-made unit. A seamless CORTEN (weathering) steel bowl anchors the build, while the removable ½" solid carbon-steel cooktop delivers even, controllable heat across more than 1,250 square inches of cooking surface. Whether you're hosting a backyard dinner or winding down around the fire, this pit handles both with ease.
Why Choose This Product
- Dual-use design: cook a full meal, then remove the cooktop for an open fire feature
- 1,250+ sq in of flat-top surface — enough for multiple dishes at once
- ½" solid carbon-steel cooktop resists warping and creates a natural, low-stick patina over time
- CORTEN steel bowl weathers to a stable patina — designed for outdoor installation without painting or sealing
- Reaches high searing temperatures in the center with cooler finishing zones toward the edge
- Three base configurations: Low Round Base, Low Euro Base, or No Base for built-in installs
- Made in the USA with premium materials and precise fabrication
Product Highlights
Large-Format Flat-Top Cooking Surface
The removable ½" solid carbon-steel cooktop spans the full 40" diameter, providing over 1,250 square inches of cooking area. The center runs hottest for searing, while the outer zones allow for lower-heat finishing — all over the same live fire.
CORTEN Steel Fire Bowl
The bowl is fabricated from U.S. CORTEN (weathering) steel, which forms a stable, rust-like patina layer that protects the metal underneath. It is designed for permanent outdoor installation without coatings.
Flexible Base Configurations
Choose the Low Round Base for a minimal, grounded silhouette; the Low Euro Base for a modern, sculptural profile; or the No Base option for custom masonry or outdoor kitchen integrations.
Wood and Charcoal Fuel
Burns hardwood or lump charcoal for authentic, open-fire cooking.
Seasoning and Maintenance
Use the included seasoning puck (Crisbee) to build an initial patina on the carbon-steel cooktop before first use. After each cook, scrape the surface clean while warm and apply a light coat of cooking oil to maintain it. The CORTEN bowl is designed for outdoor installation without routine coating or treatment — empty ash as needed.
Made in the USA
Fabricated in the United States using premium carbon steel and CORTEN steel with precise fit and finish throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cooking surface area?
The flat-top carbon-steel cooktop provides over 1,250 square inches of cooking surface, spanning the full 40" diameter of the unit.
Can I use this as a fire pit without the cooktop?
Yes. The cooktop is fully removable. Without it, the CORTEN steel bowl functions as an open fire feature.
What fuel does the Arteflame Classic 40" use?
It burns hardwood or lump charcoal for open-fire cooking.
What is CORTEN steel and how does it hold up outdoors?
CORTEN (weathering) steel forms a stable, protective patina when exposed to outdoor conditions. This patina layer slows further corrosion, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installation without painting or sealing. Note: The patina can produce iron oxide runoff — use a mat or barrier to protect your patio surface below.
Is the cooktop safe for food contact?
Yes. The removable cooktop is made from ½" solid carbon steel — the same type of material used in commercial flat-top griddles. Season it with the included seasoning puck before first use and maintain it with regular oiling after each cook.
Which base option should I choose?
The Low Round Base offers a minimal, grounded look. The Low Euro Base has a modern, sculptural profile with slide-together legs. The No Base option is for custom masonry or outdoor kitchen built-ins where you will provide your own support structure.
What accessories are included, and does it depend on which package I choose?
Yes — the accessories included depend on the package selected. Both packages include the CORTEN fire bowl, cooktop, and your selected base.
The 2-Accessory Package adds: center grill grate and seasoning puck (Crisbee).
The 5-Accessory Package adds: center grill grate, seasoning puck (Crisbee), side warming table, wood cutting board, and leather grill apron.
Covers and other accessories shown in manufacturer photos are not included in either package and are not available for separate purchase from Whole Yard Living.
How do I season and maintain the cooktop?
Use the seasoning puck (Crisbee, included with both accessory packages) to build an initial patina before first use. After each cook, scrape clean while warm and apply a light coat of cooking oil to protect the surface.
The Arteflame Classic 40" Fire Pit with Cooktop is a well-built, versatile outdoor unit that serves as both a cooking station and a gathering point. Select your base configuration and accessory package above, review the included contents, and order with confidence.
