Unlock Full Flavor With a Grill Smoker Griddle Combo

Introduction

Grilling on a traditional grill grate might feel like the real deal, but it severely limits what you can cook. Foods like bacon, hash browns, eggs, rice, and delicate fish are nearly impossible—either they fall through the gaps or overcook on direct flames. This limitation can turn an outdoor cooking session into a frustrating experience, especially when trying to serve breakfast, stir-fried meals, or sear juicy sliders with all the fixings.

That’s where the Arteflame Insert changes everything. Designed as a grill smoker griddle combo, the insert transforms your existing grill into a versatile cooking powerhouse. With both a grill grate and griddle surface, you can now prepare previously impossible meals right on your BBQ. The Arteflame insert breathes new life into your grill, expanding your menu options and elevating your outdoor cooking experience.

Why Combo Cooking Matters

Integrating a griddle with your standard grill setup isn’t just about novelty—it revolutionizes how and what you can cook. Let’s break down why adding a griddle surface to your grill is a game-changer.

1. Cook a Bigger Variety of Foods

A griddle allows you to prepare foods that a grill grate alone simply can’t manage. These include:

• Bacon: Crispy and fully cooked without falling into the flames.
• Hash Browns & Eggs: Sunday brunch is now grill-friendly.
• Stir-Fry Dishes: Rice, vegetables, and meats with zero loss through the grates.
• Seafood: Delicate items like scallops and shrimp sear beautifully on a flat surface.
• Sliders & Smash Burgers: Uniform sear and moisture retention.
• Tortillas & Flatbreads: Warm, press, or cook directly.

This ability to prepare an entire meal—from breakfast to dinner—on your grill extends the practical use of your setup beyond simple steaks and burgers.

2. Better Flavor Control

The Arteflame insert allows you to use both direct flame grilling and indirect cooking on the griddle. This dual-zone cooking setup means you can sear meat over an open flame then slide it to the griddle to finish cooking in its own juices—resulting in perfectly balanced flavors every time.

3. Easier Cleanup

Griddles naturally collect grease and food scraps, making cleanup a breeze. Unlike traditional grill grates that get gunked up and require wire brushing, the smooth surface of an Arteflame insert just takes a few swipes with a scraper or paper towel.

4. Safer Grilling Experience

With fewer flare-ups and less risk of food falling through the gaps, cooking on a griddle reduces the risk of burning food or yourself. This is particularly important when cooking for children or preparing high-fat foods like sausage or pork belly.

5. Enhance Smoker Capabilities

The Arteflame insert also helps trap heat and smoke when cooking low and slow. The solid steel plate captures much of the ambient heat, allowing you to control temperature more effectively and hold smoke longer—ideal for ribs, brisket or smoked vegetables.

6. Durability & Longevity

The Arteflame insert is constructed from thick, solid US Steel. Unlike cast iron which is prone to cracking or chipping under extreme heat or if dropped, US Steel is tough, resilient, and built to last. It won’t warp, crack, or corrode if seasoned and maintained properly, offering consistent performance year after year.

7. Aesthetic & Experience Upgrade

Arteflame inserts not only perform well—they look premium. The circular design creates a communal cooking experience, encouraging guests to gather around and interact. You’re not just flipping meat anymore—you’re hosting interactive outdoor experiences.

8. Easy Installation

There’s no need to buy an entirely new grill. The Arteflame insert fits most popular grill brands and models, making it a cost-effective and straightforward upgrade. Just drop it in, season the steel, and you’re ready to cook.

Conclusion

If you're still grilling on just a standard grate, you're missing out on the full culinary potential of your barbecue. An Arteflame Insert lets you grill, smoke, and sear like a pro with its smart combination of grill grate and griddle surface—giving your existing grill a powerful upgrade without the cost of a new unit.

100% made in the USA using high-grade, food-safe US Steel, Arteflame inserts offer premium performance without the pitfalls of cast iron. Unlike cast iron, which is brittle and prone to cracking under stress or sudden temperature changes, our solid steel construction ensures a lifetime of reliable use. It’s time to break free from grill limitations, and open your outdoor kitchen to a new world of flavor, versatility, and craftsmanship.
