Why a Griddle and Gas Grill Combo Unlocks Full-Flavor Cooking

Introduction

Traditional gas grills with standard grill grates are great for steaks and burgers—but they're also surprisingly limiting. Try cooking bacon, scrambled eggs, pancakes, hash browns, or fried rice on those open grates, and you'll end up with half your food lost to the flames. Foods with delicate textures or liquid bases simply don’t belong on grill grates alone. That’s where the cooking potential stalls.

The Arteflame Insert transforms this limitation into an opportunity. By combining a griddle and grill grate in one unit, it turns your existing gas grill into a versatile cooking powerhouse. Suddenly, your grill becomes the go-to spot for breakfast skillets, stir fry dinners, seared seafood, and everything in between. It’s not just an upgrade—it’s a resurrection for your backyard cooking setup.

Griddle + Grill = Total Control

When you combine a flat-top griddle with traditional grill grates, you're not just adding another surface—you’re expanding your culinary range in ways a basic grill can’t compete with. Here’s why this combination is revolutionary:

Cook Foods You Couldn’t Before

With open grill grates alone, you miss out on entire food groups. A griddle adds a flat surface that holds oils, liquids, and smaller ingredients, allowing you to cook:

• Bacon and sausage patties without flare-ups
• Pancakes, waffles, and French toast
• Scrambled or fried eggs
• Hash browns and breakfast potatoes
• Stir-fry rice, lo mein, or vegetables
• Melty cheese sandwiches and quesadillas

Suddenly, you’re not just grilling dinner—you’re creating a full outdoor kitchen.

Precise Heat Distribution

Flat-top griddles heat evenly across the entire surface. No hot spots. No flare-ups. This means better control over doneness and less risk of charring or uneven cooking. Unlike grill grates that leave marks (and sometimes overcook), the griddle keeps surface contact consistent.

Juicier, More Flavorful Dishes

Because a griddle doesn’t allow juices or oils to drip away, food cooks in its own flavor. Whether it’s a caramelized crust on a hash or a syrupy glaze on bacon, the griddle locks in moisture and adds richness to every meal.

Fewer Lost Ingredients

Ever chased a rogue cherry tomato through your grill grates? With a griddle, small veggies and stir-fry ingredients stay right where you want them. It’s ideal for mixed dishes with multiple components—think fajitas, Philly cheesesteaks, or shrimp stir-fry.

One Station, All-Day Cooking

Start your morning with pancakes and eggs. Move to grilled chicken and veggies for lunch. Sear steaks and cook garlic butter mushrooms for dinner. A dual-surface setup adapts to every meal, and switching between zones is seamless.

Less Clean-Up and Safer Cooking

Bacon grease dripping into burners? Not anymore. Because the griddle holds fats and liquids, you minimize grease fires and reduce cleanup. Plus, cooking on a smooth surface keeps messes centralized and easier to manage.

Rediscover Your Existing Grill

The beauty of the Arteflame Insert isn't just its performance—it’s the fact that it retrofits into your current gas grill. Instead of buying an entire new setup, you simply insert the Arteflame unit and—voilà—your grill gets a brand-new life.

Now, with a single insert, you unlock:

• Flat-top griddle & open-flame grill cooking
• Expanded menu possibilities—breakfast to dinner
• Better control & safer grilling

Whether you're flipping pancakes or searing steaks, the Arteflame Insert becomes your go-to tool for full-flavor outdoor cooking.

Transforming your gas grill with the Arteflame Insert is more than a smart cooking upgrade—it’s a complete revolution in how and what you can cook outdoors. By combining a griddle and grill grate in one seamless unit, you dramatically expand your culinary capabilities without replacing your existing setup.

Crafted entirely in the USA and made from 100% American steel (not cast iron), the Arteflame Insert is designed to last a lifetime.
