The Arteflame Classic 40" Grill with Round Base is a large-format outdoor cooking unit built around a live wood or charcoal fire. A ½" solid carbon-steel flat-top cooktop spans the full 40" diameter, delivering over 1,250 square inches of cooking surface alongside a center grill grate for direct high-heat searing. The sculptural CORTEN (weathering) steel round base provides a stable, minimal profile that weathers outdoors. Remove the cooktop after the meal, and the bowl transitions to an open fire feature for evening gatherings.

Product Highlights
Flat-Top Cooking Surface with Center Grate
The removable ½" solid carbon-steel cooktop provides over 1,250 square inches of flat-top cooking area. The center grill grate sits directly over the fire for high-heat searing, while the surrounding flat-top offers graduated heat zones for finishing and warming at the same time.
CORTEN Steel Round Base
The round base is fabricated from U.S. CORTEN (weathering) steel, forming a stable, protective patina with outdoor exposure. Its clean circular profile is designed for outdoor installation without painting or sealing.
CORTEN Steel Bowl
The fire bowl is U.S. CORTEN steel, designed for permanent outdoor installation. It develops a warm, rust-toned patina over time that protects the metal underneath without painting or sealing.
Wood and Charcoal Fuel
Burns hardwood or lump charcoal for open-fire cooking. The center grate reaches 1,000°F+ for direct searing while the flat-top provides lower, controllable heat toward the edges.
Two Base Configurations Available
Choose the standard Round Base for a minimal footprint, or the Round Base with Storage for an integrated enclosure beneath the bowl to keep firewood or accessories within reach.
Seasoning and Maintenance
Use a seasoning puck to build an initial patina on the cooktop before first use. After each cook, scrape the surface clean while warm and apply a light coat of cooking oil to maintain it. A seasoning puck is included with both accessory packages.
Made in the USA
Designed and fabricated in the United States using premium carbon steel and CORTEN steel throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Round Base and the Round Base with Storage?
The standard Round Base is a clean CORTEN steel structure with a minimal circular footprint. The Round Base with Storage adds an integrated enclosure beneath the bowl for keeping firewood or accessories within reach.
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 grill bowl, CORTEN round base (standard or with storage), and removable flat-top cooktop.
The 2-Accessory Package adds: center grill grate and seasoning puck.
The 5-Accessory Package adds: center grill grate, seasoning puck, 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.
What is the cooking surface area?
The flat-top cooktop provides over 1,250 square inches of cooking surface across the full 40" diameter. The center grill grate sits over the fire for direct high-heat searing.
What fuel does this grill use?
It burns hardwood or lump charcoal. The center grate reaches 1,000°F+ for direct searing while the outer flat-top provides lower, controllable heat zones.
What is CORTEN steel and is it safe near food?
CORTEN (weathering) steel forms a stable, protective patina layer outdoors rather than ongoing rust. The bowl and round base are CORTEN steel; the cooktop is a separate ½" solid carbon-steel surface that is safe for cooking when properly seasoned.
Can I use this as a fire pit without the cooktop?
Yes. The cooktop is fully removable, allowing the unit to function as an open fire feature after cooking.
How do I season and maintain the cooktop?
Use the seasoning puck (included with both accessory packages) to build an initial patina before first use. After each cook, scrape the surface clean while still warm and apply a light coat of cooking oil to protect it.
