Overview
Minimal form. Serious live-fire performance.
The Arteflame Classic 40" Grill with Round Base combines an expansive live-fire cooking system with the sculptural simplicity of Arteflame's signature CORTEN steel design.
Its 40" diameter, 1/2" solid carbon-steel cooktop provides more than 1,250 square inches of cooking space, while the included center grill grate sits directly over the fire for temperatures exceeding 1,000°F.
Move food outward from the center and temperatures become progressively gentler, creating multiple cooking zones around the same fire.
Below, the U.S. CORTEN weathering-steel bowl and Round Base form a balanced circular silhouette designed to feel less like conventional barbecue equipment and more like an architectural element.
Key Features
- 1,250+ Sq. In. Cooking Surface — Generous space for preparing multiple foods simultaneously.
- 1,000°F+ Center Searing — Included center grate provides intense direct heat over the live fire.
- 1/2" Carbon-Steel Cooktop — Substantial flat-top surface designed for heat retention and versatile cooking.
- Multiple Heat Zones — Control cooking intensity by moving food closer to or farther from the center.
- CORTEN Round Base — Simple cylindrical geometry creates a clean, balanced profile.
- U.S. CORTEN Steel — Bowl and base develop an evolving natural weathered patina.
- Hardwood or Lump Charcoal — Choose the live-fire fuel that suits your cooking style.
- 360° Cooking Experience — Circular design encourages guests to gather around the fire.
- Grill + Fire Feature — Remove the cooktop after appropriate cooldown for open-fire use.
- Center Grill Grate Included — Adds direct-over-fire cooking capability.
- Seasoning Puck Included — Helps establish and maintain the carbon-steel cooking surface.
Why This Product Stands Out
The Classic Round Base combines:
PERFORMANCE + SIMPLICITY + ARCHITECTURAL RESTRAINT
The center grate delivers concentrated heat for 1,000°F+ searing, while the surrounding carbon-steel cooktop creates a large multi-zone surface for preparing an entire meal.
Heat is strongest near the central fire and becomes progressively gentler toward the perimeter:
SEAR → MOVE → COOK → FINISH → HOLD
Unlike the utility-focused Storage Base or more expressive Euro Base, the Round Base keeps the composition simple, balanced, and visually understated.
The Round Base Difference
The Round Base is ideal when clean lines and visual simplicity matter more than integrated storage.
Its circular geometry echoes the bowl and cooktop for a cohesive silhouette with minimal visual interruption.
Round Base: Minimal + Timeless
Storage Base: Functional + Storage-Focused
Euro Base: Sculptural + Architectural
CORTEN Weathering Steel
Both the fire bowl and Round Base are constructed from U.S. CORTEN weathering steel.
CORTEN is designed to evolve with outdoor exposure, developing the warm natural patina associated with Arteflame's Classic collection. Variations in color and surface appearance are part of its intended character.

Care & Safety

Use outdoors only on a stable, suitable surface with adequate ventilation and required clearance from combustible materials. Follow local fire regulations and never leave an active fire unattended.
Allow the cooktop, grate, bowl, and surrounding components to cool completely before handling, cleaning, or transitioning to fire-feature use.
Follow Arteflame's current installation, operating, seasoning, and maintenance instructions.
