The Sear Makes the Steak, And Arteflame Makes the Sear
A typical gas grill runs cooler, so a steak needs more time over the heat before it browns. The Arteflame’s center grate reaches 1,000°F, so you get a deep crust fast while the inside stays juicy.

A 1,000°F Sear for a Steakhouse-Style Crust

Buying an Arteflame in Massachusetts
Arteflame grills are round corten-steel fire pits with a solid carbon-steel cooktop ring. The center of the cooktop runs hottest and the outer edge cooler, so you can sear and cook gently at the same time while guests stand around the fire. They come in 20-inch, 30-inch and 40-inch sizes, plus a fire pit with cooktop. Arteflame sells direct and ships to your door; every grill carries a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
