Arteflame grills are made in the USA — built in Phoenix, Arizona from American steel — and sold directly from our workshop to your backyard. No dealer network, no showroom markup, and no import duties or tariffs baked into the price. That's a deliberate structural choice, not a slogan, and it changes both what you pay and what you get.
Why Buy a Grill Made in the USA?
Most grills sold in the U.S. today are manufactured overseas and shipped here in containers. An American-made grill is different in three practical ways: you know where the steel came from, you know who welded it, and the company that built it is the same one that stands behind it. Every Arteflame grill is made 100% in the USA, from cutting and forming the Corten steel to welding and finishing, so there's no offshore factory, no import broker, and no guesswork about origin.
How Do Import Tariffs and Duties Affect Grill Prices?
Imported grills pay import duties and tariffs when they cross the border, and those costs don't disappear — they get built into the wholesale price and passed down to the buyer. Tariff rates also move with trade policy, which means the price of an imported grill can jump for reasons that have nothing to do with the grill itself. Because Arteflame grills are made in the USA, none of that applies: there are no import duties, no tariffs, and no ocean freight surcharges in our pricing, and trade-policy swings don't show up on your invoice.
How Does a Traditional Retail Grill Get Priced?
A grill sold through a big-box store or dealer typically passes through several hands: the manufacturer sells to an importer or distributor, the distributor sells to a retailer, and the retailer marks it up again to cover rent, staff, showroom space, and marketing. Each layer needs its own margin. By the time an imported grill reaches a showroom floor, a meaningful share of the sticker price is paying for tariffs, freight, and that chain of markups rather than the steel, welding, and engineering in the product.
How Is an American-Made Arteflame Grill Priced?
We design, build, and sell Arteflame grills ourselves, direct from arteflame.com. The price you see reflects our manufacturing cost and our own margin — nothing added by distributors or retailers, and nothing added by import duties or tariffs. That's how we can put U.S. steel and American craftsmanship into every grill at these price points: the money that would otherwise go to middlemen and customs goes into the grill instead.
| Arteflame Model | Cooking Surface | Direct Price |
|---|---|---|
| L 20″ (ONE20) | Compact, single-cook footprint | From $895 |
| XL 30″ (ONE30) | Mid-size, small-gathering footprint | From $1,495 |

Pro Tip: When comparing grills, check the country of origin and ask what's included — delivery, warranty support, and accessories can shift the real comparison in either direction. Price per square inch of usable cooking surface is a more honest yardstick than sticker price alone.
What Do You Give Up by Buying Direct?
Buying direct means no showroom where you can inspect a grill in person, and no local dealer for hands-on demos. We offset that with detailed photography and video, a straightforward return and warranty process handled by us, and direct access to the people who actually design and build the grills — not a salesperson relaying information secondhand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Arteflame grills really made in the USA?
Yes. Arteflame grills are made 100% in the USA, manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona from American steel. They are not imported, assembled from imported kits, or rebranded from an overseas factory.
Do Arteflame prices include import tariffs or duties?
No. Because our grills are American-made and sold direct, there are no import duties or tariffs in our pricing, and changes in tariff policy don't affect what you pay.
Is direct-to-consumer pricing always cheaper than retail?
Not automatically — it depends on the manufacturer and retailer being compared. What buying direct removes is the distributor and showroom markup layers; for an American-made grill, it also removes import costs. Whether that adds up to a lower price than a particular competitor depends on that competitor's cost structure.
Do Arteflame grills come with a warranty if there's no dealer?
Yes. Warranty support is handled directly by Arteflame, which means a shorter line to resolving any issue than going through a third-party retailer.
Can I see an Arteflame grill in person before buying?
Since we sell direct without a showroom network, in-person viewing isn't available the way it is at a big-box store. Our photography, videos, and customer support are built to answer the questions an in-person visit would cover.
