Arteflame 40" Platinum Series Grill — Storage Base

Overview

The Arteflame 40" Platinum Series Grill with Storage Base combines serious live-fire cooking performance with premium stainless-steel design and the everyday convenience of integrated storage.

At its center is a beautifully formed spun stainless-steel fire bowl, surrounded by a substantial 1/2-inch solid carbon-steel cooktop. The central grill grate can reach temperatures exceeding 1,000°F, delivering intense heat for high-temperature searing while the surrounding flat-top provides naturally varying heat zones for preparing the rest of the meal.

Below, the integrated Storage Base keeps firewood and appropriate cooking accessories conveniently within reach. Choose between a stainless-steel base for a cohesive contemporary appearance or a powder-coated steel base to complement your outdoor setting.

And when cooking is finished, remove the cooktop and let the stainless-steel bowl become an open-fire centerpiece for the rest of the evening.

Premium stainless steel. Serious live-fire cooking. Integrated storage. One unmistakable centerpiece.

Key Features

• 1/2" Solid Carbon-Steel Cooktop — A substantial flat-top cooking surface designed for heat retention and versatile outdoor cooking.
• Multiple Cooking Zones — Temperatures naturally vary from the center toward the outer edge, allowing you to sear, cook, finish, and hold different foods simultaneously.
• Spun Stainless-Steel Fire Bowl — The defining feature of the Platinum Series, combining sculptural form with a clean contemporary appearance.
• Integrated Storage Base — Keeps firewood and appropriate cooking accessories conveniently located beneath the grill.
• Two Storage Base Material Options — Choose stainless steel or powder-coated steel to suit your preferred outdoor aesthetic.
• Hardwood or Lump Charcoal — Select the live-fire fuel that best fits your cooking style.
• Center Grill Grate Included — Cook directly over the central fire when intense heat is desired.
• Flat-Top Cooking — Use the surrounding carbon-steel surface for proteins, seafood, vegetables, breakfast foods, breads, sides, and more.
• Grill + Fire Feature — Remove the cooktop to transition the grill into an open-fire gathering place.
• 360-Degree Entertaining — The circular configuration encourages guests to gather around the fire while food is prepared.
• Seasoning Puck Included — Helps establish and maintain the carbon-steel cooking surface.

Why This Product Stands Out

The Platinum Series with Storage Base brings together three qualities that rarely exist in the same outdoor cooking system:

Performance. Design. Utility.

The central grill grate provides the concentrated heat needed for 1,000°F+ searing, while the surrounding 1/2" carbon-steel cooktop provides a large flat-top environment with naturally different cooking temperatures.

But performance is only part of the story.

The spun stainless-steel fire bowl gives this model a distinctly more contemporary visual character than Arteflame's CORTEN steel configurations.

Then the Storage Base adds something the more sculptural configurations do not emphasize: accessible space beneath the grill for firewood and appropriate accessories.

The result is an Arteflame designed for buyers who want the premium appearance of the Platinum Series without giving up practical storage.

Specifications

Who This Is For

The Arteflame 40" Platinum Series Grill with Storage Base is ideal for homeowners who want a serious outdoor cooking system that contributes to the architecture and design of their outdoor space.

It is particularly well suited for:

• Luxury patios
• Premium outdoor kitchens
• Poolside entertaining areas
• Contemporary landscapes
• Vacation properties
• Modern backyard renovations
• Frequent outdoor entertainers
• Live-fire cooking enthusiasts
• Buyers who prefer stainless-steel design
• Homeowners who want integrated firewood or accessory storage
• Buyers who want both a grill and an evening fire feature

The Storage Base configuration is particularly compelling when practicality matters as much as appearance.

1,000°F+ Center Searing

The center grill grate sits directly over the fire, creating the highest-temperature cooking area.

Supplied specifications state that this area can exceed 1,000°F, making it particularly useful for high-temperature searing.

Once the exterior of a steak or other protein has been developed over the center, it can be moved outward onto the flat-top to continue cooking at a different temperature.

That creates a natural live-fire workflow:

Sear → Move → Cook → Finish → Hold

All around the same fire.

1/2" Solid Carbon-Steel Cooktop

Surrounding the center grate is a substantial 1/2-inch-thick carbon-steel cooktop.

Rather than cooking everything directly over an open grate, the flat surface dramatically expands what can be prepared on the Arteflame.

Depending on the menu, the cooktop can accommodate:

• Steaks
• Burgers
• Seafood
• Vegetables
• Eggs
• Bacon
• Pancakes
• Bread
• Side dishes
• Foods being finished or held warm

This combination of direct-fire center grilling and flat-top cooking is one of the defining characteristics of the Arteflame system.

Multiple Heat Zones

The circular design naturally produces different temperatures across the cooktop.

The surface is hottest toward the central fire and becomes progressively gentler toward the outside.

That allows several cooking techniques to happen simultaneously.

Use the hotter inner areas for more aggressive cooking.

Use the middle zones for general preparation.

Use the outer areas for more delicate foods, finishing, or holding.

Instead of controlling heat primarily through burners and knobs, the cook controls temperature by where food is positioned around the fire.

The Platinum Series Difference

The defining visual feature of the Platinum Series is the spun stainless-steel fire bowl.

Compared with Arteflame's CORTEN models, the Platinum Series has a brighter, more contemporary appearance.

That makes it especially attractive in outdoor environments featuring:

• Stainless-steel appliances
• Modern architecture
• Light stone
• Concrete
• Glass
• Contemporary pool decks
• Minimalist landscaping

It is still unmistakably Arteflame, but with a more refined stainless-steel presentation.

Integrated Storage Base

The Storage Base gives this Platinum Series configuration a practical advantage.

Its open storage area provides convenient space for items such as:

• Firewood
• Charcoal
• Selected cooking tools
• Appropriate outdoor cooking accessories

This keeps frequently used supplies close to the grill and can reduce the need for separate storage beside the cooking area.

For frequent entertainers, that convenience can make the Storage Base one of the most functional Arteflame configurations.

Choose Your Storage Base

Stainless-Steel Storage Base

Choose the stainless-steel base for the most cohesive Platinum Series appearance.

It visually connects the base with the spun stainless-steel fire bowl and works especially well in modern outdoor kitchens and contemporary landscapes.

Powder-Coated Steel Storage Base

Choose the powder-coated steel base when you want contrast between the stainless-steel bowl and its architectural foundation.

It preserves the integrated storage functionality while offering a different visual treatment for the base.

Cooking Becomes Part of the Entertainment

The Arteflame's circular configuration encourages people to gather around the cooking process.

Instead of positioning the cook behind a conventional barbecue, the central fire makes meal preparation part of the social experience.

Guests can watch food being prepared, enjoy the warmth of the fire, and remain connected to the person cooking.

For homeowners who entertain frequently, that social design is one of Arteflame's strongest advantages.

From Dinner to Evening Fire

The Arteflame doesn't need to become irrelevant once the meal is finished.

Remove the cooktop and the spun stainless-steel bowl becomes an open-fire feature.

That allows the same centerpiece to transition naturally from:

Cooking → Dining → Evening Fire

Rather than installing a grill in one location and a separate fire feature somewhere else, the Arteflame can serve both roles.

What's Included

Your Arteflame 40" Platinum Series Grill with Storage Base includes:

• Platinum Series grill
• Spun stainless-steel fire bowl
• Storage Base in selected material

Platinum Storage Base vs. Classic CORTEN Storage Base

The cooking concept is similar.

The major decision is aesthetic.

Choose the Platinum Series when stainless steel better complements the architecture of your outdoor space.

Choose the Classic CORTEN model when you prefer the evolving character of weathering steel.

Platinum Storage Base vs. Platinum Euro Base

The choice is straightforward:

Storage Base = Utility

Euro Base = Sculpture

Both retain the premium stainless-steel character of the Platinum Series.

Care & Maintenance

Treat the carbon-steel cooktop similarly to other seasoned carbon-steel cooking surfaces.

For routine care:

• Scrape food residue from the cooktop after cooking.
• Maintain the seasoning according to Arteflame's instructions.
• Apply an appropriate light coating of oil when needed.
• Use the included seasoning puck according to manufacturer directions.
• Remove cooled ash and debris regularly.
• Clean stainless-steel surfaces according to Arteflame's recommendations.
• Keep the storage area free of excessive debris.
• Allow all components to cool before handling.
