Why Upgrade Your Brinkmann Grill: The Power of a Griddle-Grate Combo

Introduction

Grilling with standard Brinkmann grill grates feels limiting—because it is. While you can cook classics like burgers and steaks, you quickly realize you're missing out on much more. Try grilling bacon, hash browns, eggs, rice, or even pancakes, and you'll run into trouble. These delicate or loose foods fall straight through the traditional grates or stick, burn, and break apart, ruining your breakfast—or your mood.

That’s where the Arteflame insert changes everything. Designed to fit into your Brinkmann grill, this insert combines the functionality of a traditional grill grate with a griddle-style cooktop. Suddenly, your ordinary backyard grill transforms into a versatile outdoor cooking station capable of handling everything from crispy bacon to stir-fried rice. It’s more than a part; it’s your grill’s second life.

Griddle Meets Grill Grate

Combining both a griddle and a grill grate opens the door to an entirely new cooking experience. When you add an Arteflame insert to your Brinkmann grill, you're not just adding a part—you're creating a dual-zone cooking surface that provides precision and variety. Here's why this matters:

1. Cook Virtually Anything

• Breakfast Favorites: Prepare eggs sunny-side-up, crispy hash browns, or sizzling bacon without losing ingredients through the grates.
• Delicate Foods: Fish fillets, sliced vegetables, and even tofu cook evenly and safely on the griddle surface.
• Griddle Classics: Stir-fried rice, smash burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, and quesadillas—all possible with a flat-top surface.
• Liquid-Based Foods: Dishes like sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and even pancake batter are cookable outdoors with ease.

2. Sear and Grill Simultaneously

The Arteflame insert features both an open grate for high-heat searing and smoky flavor, and a solid griddle ring for flat cooking. This means you can sear steaks on one side while frying eggs or caramelizing onions just inches away. It’s perfect for managing complex meals without juggling multiple pans or appliances.

3. Cleaner Cooking Experience

Griddles reduce flare-ups and food loss by catching juices and small pieces that would otherwise fall through standard grates. Because of this, you get better control, cleaner cookouts, and less mess in your grill’s lower chamber.

4. Healthier Grilling

Fat drains more predictably on a griddle surface, especially compared to open grates where dripping onto flames can cause smoke and flare-ups. This keeps your meals leaner and reduces the unwanted char that could compromise taste or texture.

5. Expanded Meal Options

The griddle opens countless culinary possibilities:

• Grilled breakfast spreads with eggs, sausage, and pancakes
• Fully vegan and vegetarian meals using grilled tofu and veggies
• Asian-inspired stir fries or Mexican tacos al pastor
• Homestyle smash burgers straight on the steel

With a traditional Brinkmann grill, most of this just isn’t possible—or safe. With Arteflame, anything goes.

6. Easy to Clean

The Arteflame insert is crafted from high-quality US steel that seasons over time—just like a cast iron skillet but without its fragility. A quick scrape and oiling post-cook keep the surface ready for next time. No more dealing with rusty grates, warped metal, or hard-to-clean crevices.

7. Long-Term Durability

Unlike low-grade aftermarket griddles or cast iron attachments, the Arteflame insert is built from solid US Steel. It won’t crack, chip, or shatter over time. It’s engineered to endure heat cycling season after season—far outperforming cast iron alternatives.

Conclusion

Arteflame inserts breathe new life into your Brinkmann grill by unlocking a new dimension of outdoor cooking. Whether you’re prepping crisp bacon and hash browns for brunch or searing salmon alongside grilled veggies for dinner, the griddle-plus-grate combo lets you do it all. The best part? These inserts are 100% made in the USA using top-grade US Steel, upholding the highest food safety and hygiene standards.

Unlike brittle cast iron, which is known to crack over time, Arteflame’s all-steel construction offers unmatched durability and performance. It’s not only an upgrade—it’s a lifelong investment in better grilling. Ready to experience what your Brinkmann was always meant to be? Add an Arteflame insert and rediscover what your grill can do.
