A detailed comparison

Arteflame vs OFYR

The American-made OFYR alternative — from $1,995

Shopping for a flat-top fire bowl grill? Arteflame delivers the same striking plancha-over-fire design — plus a 1,000°F center grill grate for steakhouse searing, engineered airflow, and a seamless one-piece spun steel bowl — built in the USA, with 40″ grills and fire pits from $1,995.

Arteflame offers more than just a grill—it’s a complete outdoor cooking solution that combines functionality, durability, and style. With its 1,000°F center grate, dual cooking surfaces and multi-use accessories, Arteflame is a strong choice for anyone who wants to cook more than one way over the same fire. OFYR makes stylish grills too; the sections below compare how the two are built so you can decide which fits your cooking.

Arteflame vs. OFYR: What Actually Makes the Difference

1) Clean burn from engineered airflow (less smoke, steadier heat)
Arteflame’s internal airflow path is designed to feed the fire from below and exhaust cleanly upward. The result is a hot, clean burn with less smoke and quick heat recovery.

2) True dual-mode cooking with a center grill grate
Arteflame’s cooktop has a dedicated flush center grill grate for direct-flame searing—for 1,000°F-class crusts—while the surrounding flat top steps down from about 450–550°F near the fire to 250–350°F at the outer edge. The center grate comes with the Arteflame 40″ grills. On an OFYR, a round grill grate for the center opening (Grill Round, about 20.5″) is a separate accessory: €230 on ofyr.com, $425 at its US distributor.

3) Heat zoning = more versatility
The open center + wide cooktop naturally create concentric temperature bands: hard sear in the middle, hot sauté just beyond, a medium band for finishing proteins/veggies, and a gentle outer edge for holding and resting. That versatility is the difference between cooking everything on one surface vs. juggling items on and off the grill.

4) American-made quality & support
Heavy-gauge steel, precise fit, and responsive support. Arteflame brings design, performance, and ownership experience together in one system.

Bottom line: If you want cleaner combustion, true dual-mode cooking (center grate + plancha), a seamless one-piece bowl, and a grill that doubles as outdoor sculpture, Arteflame is built for exactly that.

Design & Searing Power

Arteflame’s engineered airflow supports a dedicated center grill grate that reaches 1,000°F+, the kind of direct heat that builds a true steakhouse crust. On an OFYR, searing happens on the plancha unless you add the optional center grill grate.  If direct-flame searing matters to you, the 1,000°F+ center grill grate is the main difference between the two.

  • The Arteflame internal airflow system
    Arteflame

    Arteflame grills have an internal airflow system that channels air directly to the base of the fire, so it burns hotter with less smoke. That lets the center grate sear steaks at temperatures above 1,000°F for a steakhouse-style crust at home.

  • Arteflame XXL 40" Flat Top Grill - Euro Base
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's airflow and center grate are built for searing above 1,000°F, and the same heat drives the optional pizza oven.

  • OFYR comparison

    OFYR: OFYR is built around a plancha ring over an open fire bowl, and searing happens on that plancha surface; a center grill grate is an optional extra. Arteflame pairs an internal airflow path with a center grill grate and a flat-top, so you can sear over the flame and cook on the plancha at the same time.

Quality and Craftsmanship

Arteflame grills are made in the USA with a one-piece spun CORTEN steel bowl, so there are no seams in the fire bowl. That construction is built for years of steady, reliable use outdoors.

  • Arteflame accessory ring
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's accessory ring introduces flexible cooking through a flush center grill grate and add-ons like "Food Saver" and "Grill Grate Riser." This feature broadens culinary possibilities by enabling various cooking setups, thus enriching the grilling journey.

  • Golden turkey turning on the Arteflame rotisserie over a live wood fire
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's rotisserie securely fits on the accessory ring. Its cordless motor supports up to 25lbs, perfect for various meats and fish. This feature enhances Arteflame's versatility, offering more culinary options for an enriched outdoor cooking experience.

  • OFYR rotisserie
    OFYR

    OFYR sells its own cooking accessories, such as horizontal skewers. Arteflame's rotisserie locks onto the accessory ring and runs on a cordless motor rated for 25 lbs.

Versatile Cooking Options

Enhance your grilling with Arteflame's grill grate riser. It elevates food, reducing direct heat for a rich smoke flavor and keeping dishes warm. Not for high-heat tasks like searing or baking, it's ideal for gentle warming. Paired with the Arteflame food saver, which stops food from rolling into the fire, this combo elevates safety and convenience for a versatile grilling experience.

  • Arteflame grill loaded with pizza, steaks, chicken, sausages, corn and vegetables on a seaside terrace
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's pizza oven boasts a flush grill grate and a front-open design for effortless pizza handling and monitoring. Heated directly by the wood fire, it recreates pizzeria-style conditions for a crisp crust.

  • Arteflame Pizza Oven with Grate
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's pizza oven sits on its own grill grate directly over a fire that reaches 1,000°F, much like a wood-fired pizzeria oven. The result is a crisp crust with wood smoke flavor at home.

  • OFYR Pizza Oven
    OFYR

    OFYR also sells a pizza oven accessory. Arteflame’s pizza oven sits directly over the fire in the center opening, so it easily reaches 1,000°F+ for pizzeria-style results.

  • Arteflame single piece bowl
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's Corten steel fire bowl is spun from one piece, with a distinctive shape. Its removable base and air system reduce smoke, enhance heat, and its built-in ring offers added strength and easy mobility when hot, distinguishing Arteflame in both design and function.

  • Arteflame seamless cooktop
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's cooktop integrates a self-centering, seamless design with an internal ring for enhanced stability and durability, mitigating dent risks and simplifying relocation. Two people can move it, even when it is hot.

  • OFYR two piece bowl
    OFYR

    The OFYR Classic 100 has a 100 cm (39″) cooking plate on a cone base and weighs about 101–124 kg depending on the finish. Arteflame's bowl sits on a removable base with an internal airflow path that feeds the fire from below.

Commitment to Customer Satisfaction

At Arteflame, customer satisfaction comes first. We build our grills to be used for years and stand behind them with responsive support.

  • Arteflame Food Saver
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's Food Saver locks onto the cooktop's center, stopping food from falling into the center while using the grill grate riser. It keeps meals warm, enhances wood flavor, and adds convenience.

  • Thick bone-in ribeye searing on the Arteflame grill's steel cooktop beside the wood fire
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's grill grate sits close to the fire for searing over 1,000°F. It gives you steakhouse-style crusts and makes it easy to move food onto the flat-top to finish.

  • OFYR

    OFYR sells a round grill grate (Grill Round, about 20.5″) as an accessory. On an Arteflame 40″, the center grill grate comes with the grill and sits directly over the fire. Air enters the fire bowl from below, is heated and fed into the fire, which allows 1,000°F+ searing.

OFYR Alternative FAQ

Is Arteflame a good alternative to OFYR?

Yes. Both are wood-fired fire bowl grills with a flat plancha cooking ring. Arteflame is made in the USA, includes a center grill grate on the 40″ grills for 1,000°F+ direct-flame searing, has an internal airflow path that feeds the fire from below, and starts at $1,995 (40″ Fire Pit with Cooktop). A Classic 40″ grill, comparable in size to the OFYR Classic 100, is $2,495.

How much does an OFYR cost in the US?

At US dealers in October 2026, the OFYR Classic Black 100 was $2,499 on sale (list $2,777) and the Classic Corten 100 PRO $3,119 on sale. On ofyr.com the Classic+ Corten 100 is €1,995. The round center grill grate is extra (€230 on ofyr.com, $425 at the US distributor).

Can you buy an OFYR in the USA?

Yes, through US dealers. OFYR's own website has no US store and lists its prices in euros. In the US, OFYR grills are sold by dealers such as Weston Table, which calls itself the official US OFYR distributor, and Grillio. Weston Table lists OFYR items as final sale and ships them by freight with a surcharge (checked October 2026). Arteflame grills are made in Phoenix, Arizona, and sold direct, with free shipping in the contiguous US.

How much does an Arteflame cost?

The 40″ Fire Pit with Cooktop starts at $1,995, the Classic 40″ grill at $2,495 and the Stainless Series at $3,495.

Can you sear steaks on an OFYR?

What are the other OFYR alternatives?

Arteflame is the main US-made option.

Do Arteflame accessories fit an OFYR grill?

No. The two systems aren't cross-compatible. Arteflame's accessories (rotisserie, pizza oven, grill grate riser, food saver) lock into the accessory ring built into every Arteflame grill, and OFYR's accessories are made for OFYR grills.

Where are Arteflame grills made?

Arteflame grills are designed and made in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, with US-based customer support. OFYR grills are made in the Netherlands.
