Overview
The Arteflame 40" Platinum Series Grill with Euro Base brings together serious live-fire cooking performance and statement-making contemporary design.
At its center, a grill grate positioned directly over the fire can reach temperatures exceeding 1,000°F, providing intense heat for high-temperature searing. Surrounding it is a substantial 1/2-inch solid carbon-steel cooktop, creating a large flat-top cooking surface with naturally varying temperature zones.
Below the cooking surface, the Platinum Series features a beautifully formed spun stainless-steel fire bowl supported by Arteflame's distinctive Euro Base. Its slide-together leg design creates an architectural silhouette that feels more like functional outdoor sculpture than conventional barbecue equipment.
Choose the Euro Base in stainless steel for a refined all-metal presentation or select powder-coated black, red, or yellow to turn the grill into an even more expressive focal point.
Cook over hardwood or lump charcoal, gather around the circular cooking surface, and when dinner is finished, remove the cooktop and let the Arteflame transition into an open-fire centerpiece.
Live-fire performance shaped by architectural design.

Why This Product Stands Out
The Platinum Series with Euro Base is designed for buyers who believe outdoor cooking equipment should contribute to the architecture of the space.
Performance starts with the fire.
The center grill grate provides the concentrated heat required for 1,000°F+ searing, while the surrounding 1/2" carbon-steel flat-top creates multiple cooking temperatures around the same flame.
But what makes this particular Arteflame different is everything underneath that cooking surface.
The spun stainless-steel bowl provides the clean, contemporary character of the Platinum Series.
The Euro Base then turns that bowl into a sculptural outdoor centerpiece.
Instead of adding storage or trying to disappear into the landscape, the Euro Base is intended to be seen.
And with stainless, black, red, and yellow configurations available, it can either complement the architecture around it or deliberately stand apart from it.

Who This Is For
The Arteflame 40" Platinum Series Grill with Euro Base is ideal for homeowners who want outdoor cooking equipment to function as part of the overall design of their space.
It is particularly well suited for:
- Luxury patios
- Contemporary homes
- Modern landscapes
- Premium outdoor kitchens
- Poolside entertaining areas
- Courtyards
- Vacation properties
- Architect-designed outdoor spaces
- Frequent outdoor entertainers
- Live-fire cooking enthusiasts
- Design-conscious homeowners
- Buyers looking for a statement outdoor centerpiece
The Euro Base is particularly compelling for someone who prioritizes architectural presence and customization over integrated storage.
1,000°F+ Center Searing
The center grill grate sits directly over the live fire.
According to the supplied specifications, this central cooking zone can exceed 1,000°F, providing the intense heat needed for high-temperature searing.
After searing, food can be moved outward onto the surrounding flat-top to continue cooking at a different temperature.
This creates an intuitive cooking progression:
Sear → Move → Cook → Finish → Hold
All around one fire.
1/2" Solid Carbon-Steel Cooktop
The substantial 1/2-inch carbon-steel cooktop transforms the area surrounding the fire into a versatile flat-top cooking surface.
Depending on the meal, it can accommodate:
- Steaks
- Burgers
- Seafood
- Vegetables
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Pancakes
- Bread
- Side dishes
- Foods being finished or held warm
The combination of a central open-fire grate and surrounding flat-top provides cooking flexibility that goes well beyond a traditional grill grate.
Multiple Heat Zones
The central fire naturally creates a temperature gradient across the cooktop.
Heat is most intense near the middle and becomes progressively gentler toward the outer edge.
That gives the cook multiple working areas simultaneously.
Use the center for aggressive heat.
Use the middle for general cooking.
Use the outside for more delicate ingredients, finishing, or holding.
Rather than adjusting individual burners, you control cooking intensity by moving food around the fire.
The Platinum Series Difference
The defining visual feature of the Platinum Series is its spun stainless-steel fire bowl.
Compared with Arteflame's CORTEN models, the stainless-steel bowl provides a brighter, more contemporary appearance.
It pairs naturally with outdoor environments featuring:
- Stainless-steel appliances
- Glass
- Concrete
- Light stone
- Modern architecture
- Contemporary pools
- Minimalist landscaping
For buyers who appreciate the Arteflame concept but prefer stainless steel over the evolving appearance of weathering steel, the Platinum Series is the natural choice.
The Euro Base Difference
Within the Platinum Series, the Euro Base is the design-focused configuration.
Its slide-together leg structure creates negative space beneath the bowl and gives the grill an unmistakable architectural profile.
Where the Storage Base is designed to add utility, the Euro Base is designed primarily around visual presence.
It is the configuration to choose when the grill itself is intended to become part of the landscape design.
Choose Your Euro Base Finish
Stainless Steel
The most cohesive Platinum Series configuration.
The stainless-steel base visually connects with the spun stainless-steel fire bowl for a clean, sophisticated all-metal presentation.
Ideal for:
- Modern outdoor kitchens
- Stainless appliance suites
- Contemporary architecture
- Minimalist landscapes
Powder-Coated Black
A restrained, high-contrast option.
The darker foundation allows the stainless-steel bowl to stand out while maintaining a sophisticated contemporary appearance.
Ideal for:
- Black-framed architecture
- Dark outdoor furniture
- Modern monochromatic spaces
- High-contrast landscapes
Powder-Coated Red
A more expressive configuration that turns the Euro Base into a deliberate design feature.
Ideal for outdoor environments where the grill is intended to become a focal point rather than visually recede.
Powder-Coated Yellow
The boldest option in the collection.
Yellow gives the architectural Euro Base a distinctive contemporary personality and can work particularly well in playful, artistic, or highly design-driven outdoor spaces.
Cooking as Entertainment
Arteflame's circular configuration makes food preparation part of the gathering.
Guests can naturally position themselves around the grill, enjoy the fire, and remain connected to the person cooking.
Instead of the cook standing behind a conventional barbecue, everyone shares the same central focal point.
For homeowners who entertain frequently, that changes the grill from an appliance into part of the social environment.
From Grill to Fire Feature
When cooking is finished, the Arteflame can continue serving as the center of the evening.
Remove the cooktop and the spun stainless-steel bowl becomes an open-fire feature.
The same centerpiece can therefore transition from:
Cooking → Dining → Evening Fire
For design-focused outdoor environments, that dual functionality can reduce the need to visually accommodate separate grilling and fire-pit installations.
