Arteflame ONE20 — 20" Flat-Top Charcoal Grill

The ONE20 is Arteflame's little powerhouse — built for back patios, courtyards, balconies, and smaller backyards where a 40" grill just doesn't fit. It's the fastest-heating grill in the lineup: less steel to bring up to temperature means you're cooking sooner, not standing around waiting on charcoal. And it doesn't ask you to give up anything that matters — the cooktop still climbs past 1,000°F at the center, so you get the exact same steakhouse-quality sear as every other Arteflame, just sized to comfortably feed up to four. At only 20" tall on its own, it slides easily onto the ground between two chairs so you can sit, grill, and talk all at once, or add the included base riser for standing-height cooking instead. It's also genuinely portable — light and compact enough to fit in the back of almost any car — so tailgates, campsites, and a friend's backyard are all fair game.

A flat, solid steel griddle opens up what you can actually cook — scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, smash burgers, shrimp, delicate fish, vegetables, even a sauce or side in a pan — foods that would fall through open grates or stick and tear on a grill. Nothing drips down into a flame either, so there are no flare-ups and none of the burnt, bitter edges they cause — just even heat across the whole surface. The flat surface also holds in natural juices and lets flavors mingle right on the cooktop, the way a good diner griddle works, and cleanup is a single flat surface to scrape rather than picking food out of grates. You're not giving up the classic sear, though — the ONE20's center grill grate is always there in the middle of the cooktop, ready whenever you want true open-flame char and grill marks on a steak or burger. You get the full versatility of a griddle and the sear of a grill, on one compact cooktop.

The ONE20 runs on hardwood or lump charcoal, or a combination of the two, which is what makes its 1,000°F+ sear and real wood-fired flavor possible — something a small gas grill can't match. And remember what you'd actually be cooking over with propane: the same fossil fuel that powers buses, generators, and forklifts. Would you want your steak seared over exhaust fumes? Wood and charcoal give you clean, natural heat and flavor instead. It's still just as easy to live with — the ONE20 heats up faster than any other Arteflame, so there's less waiting than you'd expect, and one small fire gives you built-in hot and cool zones instead of a row of burner dials. The cooktop essentially cleans itself, too, as the fire burns off drippings.

Minimal, and even quicker on a grill this size. Scrape the cooktop clean with a griddle scraper while it's still warm — the fire burns off most of what's left — then wipe on a light coat of oil to protect the seasoning, the same way you'd care for a cast-iron skillet. There's no porcelain coating to chip and no grates to scrub. Empty the cooled ash after each use, and keep the CORTEN steel body's drain holes clear; it's built to weather outdoors and develop its own natural patina over time.

The ONE20 is the fastest-heating grill Arteflame makes — ready to sear in about 15 minutes once you get the hang of it (a little longer while you're still learning how your grill likes to run, and 20-25+ minutes in freezing weather). With less steel to bring up to temperature than the larger grills, that short build-up time is enough for the cooktop to hold steady, even searing heat instead of hot and cold spots. A quick way to check readiness: flick on a few drops of water — if they sizzle and evaporate, you're in the 350–450°F sweet spot; if they vanish instantly, it's over 550°F and time to spread the coals out.

1. While the cooktop is still hot, push food debris and excess oil into the center fire with a straight-edge griddle scraper.
2. Wipe the surface with a light coat of oil while it's still warm — this feeds the seasoning and guards against oxidation as it cools.
3. Once the grill has cooled completely, scoop out the ash with a plastic cup or ash tool.
4. If any oxidation spots appear, buff them out with a Brillo pad, steel wool, or fine sandpaper — this is rare with regular use.

Treat the cooktop like cast iron: no harsh chemical cleaners and no heavy scrubbing required.

CORTEN, also known as "weathering" steel, is built to outlast ordinary steel — typically 4 to 8 times longer. It's also self-healing: if the surface gets scratched or dinged, the exposed steel simply re-oxidizes and reseals itself with the same protective patina, so there's no bare metal left exposed to rust. That same patina gives it a rich, warm, ever-changing character that painted or powder-coated steel can't match, and it never needs repainting, resealing, or any other maintenance to stay protected.

All Arteflame grills come with a 3 years warranty for full peace of mind.
