Discover Arteflame: A Unique Grilling Experience
Welcome to Arteflame! We’re Michiel and Jennifer, and we’re thrilled to share a little about Arteflame and the inspiration behind our grills. From our home in Paradise Valley, Arizona, we’ve created Arteflame to bring people together through food, conversation, and the joy of outdoor cooking.
I designed Arteflame grills to combine the best of functionality and artistry, creating a cooking experience that’s both practical and enjoyable. Whether you’re searing a steak at over 1,000°F on the center grill grate or preparing a full meal on the surrounding flat cooktop, Arteflame makes outdoor cooking approachable, versatile, and fun. And when the cooking is done, these grills transform into beautiful fire pits, extending the warmth and atmosphere of your gathering well into the evening.

Craftsmanship That Lasts
I make each Arteflame grill by hand only using high-quality US steel. Each grill is built to last, designed to withstand the elements, and crafted to develop a unique natural patina over time. This means every Arteflame grill is as individual as its owner—beautiful, durable, and functional for years to come.
Designed for Versatility
What makes Arteflame unique is its combination of a flat top cooktop and a blazing hot center grill grate. The flat cooktop offers a range of heat zones, perfect for grilling everything from vegetables to seafood, while the center grate allows for high-temperature searing that locks in the flavor of your favorite cuts of meat. It’s a setup that lets you cook an entire meal at once, all on the same surface.
More Than a Grill
Arteflame isn’t just about cooking; it’s about creating a space for connection. With its sleek, round design and communal cooking style, it brings people together in a way that traditional grills can’t. The added feature of a fire pit means the grill remains a centerpiece of your outdoor space even after the meal is done, making it a year-round addition to your backyard.
A Commitment to Quality
As an American, I take pride in using locally sourced materials and crafting every grill with care. The design reflects both tradition and modern innovation, blending timeless style with functional cooking solutions. Arteflame is about creating tools that not only perform well but also enhance the way we gather and enjoy time with friends and family.
Why Made in the USA Matters
Every Arteflame grill starts as raw American steel, not an imported, pre-fabricated shell, and is built right here in Phoenix, Arizona. Building domestically means we control the sourcing, the spinning process, and the quality of every seam ourselves, instead of relying on an overseas factory we've never set foot in. That's a deliberate choice, not just a marketing line: it's slower and costs more than importing a finished grill would, but it's the only way we know to stand behind a grill we'd put in our own backyard.
Manufacturing in Phoenix also means fewer hands touch each grill between raw steel and your patio, less opportunity for the corner-cutting that comes from chasing the lowest possible unit cost overseas, and a direct line back to us if something isn't right. It's why we can promise the seamless, hand-spun Corten and stainless bowls shown in the video above — that kind of construction is hard to guarantee at arm's length from a supplier on another continent.
For Every Occasion
Arteflame grills are perfect for a wide range of outdoor activities, from casual family dinners to larger celebrations. The flexibility of the flat top cooktop means you can prepare everything from pancakes for breakfast to burgers for lunch and steak dinners—all with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Arteflame actually made in the USA? Yes — every grill is built from US steel and hand-crafted in Phoenix, Arizona, not imported as a finished product from an overseas factory.
What material are Arteflame grills made from? High-quality US steel — Corten (weathering) steel on most models, with stainless steel on the Platinum Series — seamlessly spun into each fire bowl and cooktop.
Why does domestic manufacturing matter for a grill? It gives us direct control over sourcing, welding, and quality at every step, rather than trusting those standards to a supplier overseas — and it means we stand directly behind every grill that ships from our Phoenix shop.
