Upgrade Your Grill With Kingsford Grill Parts and an Arteflame Insert

Introduction

Grilling with just a basic grill grate has serious limitations, especially when you're trying to cook more than just meat and veggies. Want to fry bacon, scramble eggs, or crisp up hash browns? Good luck doing that on standard Kingsford grill grates — the food either falls through or cooks unevenly. Cooking rice dishes or delicate seafood becomes nearly impossible without the right surface. These limitations can keep you from enjoying outdoor cooking to its fullest.

The good news? There's a simple yet powerful upgrade you can make: the Arteflame insert. Designed to work with standard grill grates, including many Kingsford models, the Arteflame insert transforms your grill into a versatile cooktop. With its integrated griddle and grill grate combo, you unlock the ability to prepare everything from breakfast to stir-fry on your existing grill setup. It's like giving your old grill a brand-new purpose.

Dual-Zone Cooking Power

Conventional grills are great for burgers and steaks, but they stop short when it comes to a broader range of cooking possibilities. That’s where combining a grill grate with a griddle surface becomes a game changer. The Arteflame insert delivers exactly that — a hybrid cooking experience that finally lets you explore your grill’s full culinary potential.

Here’s why adding a griddle surface to your Kingsford grill setup is a smart move:

1. Cook Foods You Couldn’t Before

• Bacon and Sausages: No more flare-ups or grease fires from drippy bacon or split sausages. The griddle contains the grease and cooks everything evenly.
• Eggs and Omelets: Whether it's sunny-side-up or scrambled, a griddle keeps eggs in place and prevents them from falling through the grates.
• Hash Browns & Veggies: Works perfectly for chopped onions, mushrooms, peppers, and potatoes — all the things that would normally get lost between the bars.
• Delicate Fish and Seafood: No sticking or tearing — just perfectly seared crust and moist interiors.
• Stir Fry & Fried Rice: The flat surface of a griddle is ideal for high-heat stir fry dishes you could never pull off on open grates.

2. Heat Zones Made Easy

One of the standout advantages of the Arteflame insert is the built-in heat zone control. The outer ring of the griddle gets hotter, while the inner section stays slightly cooler. This allows you to move ingredients around based on temperature needs, giving you more precision without guesswork. Whether you're searing steaks or simmering sauces, the griddle surface gives you the flexibility your Kingsford grill grates alone can’t match.

3. Cleaner Cooking Experience

No more having to scrub between grate bars or worrying about food sticking and burning in impossible-to-clean areas. The Arteflame insert has a solid steel surface that’s easy to season like cast iron—yet it's far easier to clean and maintain. Grease naturally drains to the center, collecting there for easy disposal instead of dripping into your burners or coals.

4. Safe and Efficient

Traditional Kingsford grill grates let grease drip directly into flames, often causing flare-ups. With the Arteflame griddle, cooking is safer and more controlled. There’s no sudden burst of flames when cooking fatty foods, reducing risk and making cooking accessible to more users—including beginners.

5. Enhanced Flavor and Texture

Griddle cooking retains juices and adds a flavorful crust to meats, vegetables, and more. The steel surface of an Arteflame insert sears food beautifully while maintaining moisture. You’ll immediately notice an upgrade in taste and texture compared to cooking over open grates alone.

6. Multi-Meal Flexibility

With the dual-zone cooktop from Arteflame, you can make breakfast, lunch, and dinner — all on the same grill. Start your day with pancakes and bacon, transition to grilled cheese and soup at lunch, and finish off the evening with grilled steaks and veggie stir fry. The combo of griddle and grill unlocks mealtime diversity your original Kingsford grill just wasn’t built for.

7. Simple Installation

The Arteflame insert fits easily into your existing Kingsford setup — no complex tools, no modifications. It essentially drops into place, instantly expanding your grill's capabilities without needing an entirely new appliance. Just season the steel surface and you’re good to go.

8. Durable, American-Made Craftsmanship

The Arteflame isn’t just functional — it’s built to last. Crafted from thick, solid US Steel (not cast iron), the insert resists cracking, rusting, and breaking under high heat or frequent use. You'll get better performance and longevity than with brittle cast iron alternatives, especially in outdoor environments.

Conclusion

For Kingsford grill owners tired of the limitations that come with standard grill grates, the Arteflame insert is a must-have upgrade. It makes your existing grill more versatile, allowing you to cook everything from bacon and eggs to fried rice and seafood — all without ever leaving your backyard.

100% made in the USA, Arteflame inserts are crafted using premium US Steel in accordance with American food safety and hygiene standards. Unlike cast iron, which is prone to chipping, cracking, and excessive rust, solid steel offers a lifetime of reliable performance. Give your Kingsford grill the durable, multifunctional upgrade it deserves and experience outdoor cooking on a whole new level.
