OFYR vs Arteflame

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 hotter, cleaner burn with noticeably less smoke and faster heat recovery. Grills without an engineered airflow system tend to smolder more, which can mean visible smoke and less consistent temperatures.

2) True dual-mode cooking with a center grill grate
Because Arteflame maintains a clean, high-energy fire, it supports a dedicated center grill grate for direct-flame searing—perfect for 1,000°F-class crusts—while the surrounding flat-top delivers even, finish-friendly heat. Systems that smoke more typically do not offer an integrated center grate, limiting you to the ring surface alone.

3) Better 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 the clear choice.

Superior Design & Searing Power

Arteflame’s engineered airflow supports a dedicated center grill grate that routinely reaches 1,000°F+—the kind of heat that locks in juices and delivers a true steakhouse crust. Because OFYR lacks this internal airflow (and therefore doesn’t offer a center grate), it can’t match Arteflame’s direct-flame searing performance. If high-heat precision and professional-level results matter, this single feature puts Arteflame in a class of its own.

  • The Arteflame internal airflow system
    Arteflame

    Arteflame grills surpass OFYR, featuring a unique internal airflow system that channels air directly to the combustion chamber, superheating it while reducing smoke. This innovation allows for searing steaks at temperatures above 1,000°F, unmatched by OFYR, offering a steakhouse-quality grilling experience right at home.

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

    Arteflame's efficient airflow reaches temperatures above 1,000°F for superior steak searing, unlike OFYR, whose limited circulation and elevated grate design fall short in achieving steakhouse-quality sears and perfect pizzas, showcasing Arteflame's advanced functionality and superior grill design.

  • OFYR comparison

    OFYR: Because OFYR lacks an engineered internal airflow system, combustion is less efficient: more smoke and lower peak heat. That’s why there is no center grill grate(and no true pizza-oven option): it simply doesn’t sustain the clean, high-energy fire needed for 1,000°F-class searing or crisp, high-heat pizza baking. Arteflame, with its internal airflow and dual-mode design, delivers hotter, cleaner burns and the performance those features demand.

Achieve Steakhouse Sizzle and Pizzeria Perfection with Advanced Airflow Technology

Unmatched Quality and Craftsmanship

Arteflame grills showcase the pinnacle of American craftsmanship, offering a solid one-piece design that outlasts the segmented build of OFYR grills. This unique construction not only enhances durability but also ensures a longer lifespan, promising years of steady, reliable use. Arteflame's commitment to quality provides an unmatched grilling experience.

  • Arteflame accessory ring
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's unique accessory ring, absent in OFYR models, 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.

  • Arteflame rotisserie
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's rotisserie, an upgrade over OFYR grills, 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

    Unlike Arteflame, OFYR's rotisserie, due to its tall design and absence of an electric spit motor, is less practical for grilling and better for smoking. It demands manual spit rotation over long durations, offering a less efficient, more labor-intensive grilling experience.

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 Pizza Oven
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's pizza oven boasts a flush grill grate and a front-open design for effortless pizza handling and monitoring, outshining OFYR. Achieving over 1,000°F, it replicates authentic pizzeria conditions for a perfectly crisped crust, unlike OFYR's less specialized approach to pizza cooking.

  • Arteflame Pizza Oven with Grate
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's pizza oven, with its unique grill grate, outperforms OFYR by achieving 1,000°F, mimicking authentic pizzeria ovens. This ensures a perfect crust and wood smoke flavor, offering professional-grade pizza at home, a feature that distinctly sets Arteflame apart.

  • OFYR Pizza Oven
    OFYR

    The OFYR pizza oven's raised design above the fire limits heat exposure, essential for crafting great pizza crusts and melting toppings. In contrast, Arteflame’s pizza oven, strategically placed atop the fire, achieves temperatures comparable to a traditional pizzeria brick oven.

  • Arteflame single piece bowl
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's Corten steel fire bowl surpasses OFYR with its one-piece, durable construction and 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, distinct from OFYR, integrates a self-centering, seamless design with an internal ring for enhanced stability and durability, mitigating dent risks and simplifying relocation. Contrasting OFYR's edge-welded surfaces, it's easily maneuverable by two individuals, even when heated, underscoring Arteflame's dedication to excellence and utility.

  • OFYR two piece bowl
    OFYR

    OFYR's two-piece, welded fire bowl may risk weld breakage under high temperatures, lacking Arteflame's durability and commercial warranty. Its design, without a removable base and internal airflow, leads to inefficient wood burning and excessive smoke, unlike Arteflame's efficient, smoke-minimized grilling experience.

Commitment to Customer Satisfaction

At Arteflame, prioritizing customer satisfaction is paramount. Our grills transcend mere cooking tools; they are investments in superior outdoor experiences. Each use reaffirms our commitment to quality, setting us apart from the conventional products of OFYR. Our dedication ensures an unparalleled grilling journey, emphasizing the unique value we bring to every outdoor cooking adventure.

  • Arteflame Food Saver
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's unique Food Saver feature, not found in OFYR grills, 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 marks Arteflame's lead in design and convenience.

  • Arteflame Grill Grate
    Arteflame

    Arteflame's grill grate enables high-temperature searing over 1,000°F, close to the fire, unlike OFYR. Its design allows for steakhouse-quality steaks, ensuring perfect sears and effortless food transfer. This demonstrates its superior grilling efficiency and design compared to OFYR.

  • OFYR

    Limited by their airflow design, OFYR grills lack Arteflame's direct-over-fire grill grate, offering only a raised version that compromises heat efficiency. In contrast, Arteflame's design places the grate directly above the fire, maximizing heat transfer and setting a clear advantage in grilling performance.
