Arteflame Classic 40″ Fire Pit with Cooktop (Short Base / Built-In)
Choose options
Product Overview
Sculptural fire feature meets serious cooking. The Arteflame Classic 40" Fire Pit with Cooktop pairs a wide, flat-top 1/2"-thick solid carbon-steel surface with a live central fire, allowing you to sear, sauté, and serve an entire meal at once. Once dinner is done, the cooktop can be removed to transform the unit into a stunning outdoor fire bowl. Crafted with a seamless U.S. CORTEN weathering steel bowl, this unit is designed to develop a handsome, protective patina over time.
Key Features
- Dual-Zone Performance: Achieve a steakhouse-quality sear (1,000°F+) near the center while utilizing the cooler outer zones for delicate vegetables or keeping food warm.
- Massive Cooking Surface: With over 1,250 sq in of flat-top surface, you can cook multiple dishes simultaneously for large gatherings.
- CORTEN Steel Durability: The bowl is made of U.S. CORTEN steel, which weathers to create a self-protecting rust layer, ensuring long-term structural integrity and a modern, rustic aesthetic.
- Precision Cooktop: The removable 1/2"-thick carbon-steel cooktop is engineered to resist warping and maintains consistent heat across the entire surface.
- Low Maintenance: No fragile porcelain or coatings to chip. Simply scrape the surface, wipe it down, and apply a light coat of food-grade oil to maintain the non-stick patina.
- Versatile Fueling: Optimized for hardwood or lump charcoal to provide authentic wood-fired flavor; also convertible to gas if preferred.
Configuration Options
Choose the base that best fits your outdoor design:
- Short Round Base: A heavy-gauge steel pedestal for a rock-solid, minimalist silhouette.
- Short Euro Base: Modern, sculptural slide-together legs for a contemporary profile.
- No Base (Built-In): Supplied as a bowl and cooktop only, perfect for custom masonry or integrated outdoor kitchen islands.
