Pull the chairs in, put dinner on the steel and keep the fire going long after. At 22" high this is a fire pit first, with a full grill and griddle on top.
A fire pit you can cook on
The 40" CORTEN bowl sits at 22" on a low base. A removable grill grate sits over a wood or charcoal fire and passes 1,000°F. Around it, a 40" ring of ½" hot-rolled steel gives you 1,250+ sq in to cook on, hot near the fire (about 450 to 550°F) and gentler toward the edge (about 250 to 350°F, measured by Arteflame on a Classic 40). The steel sits between the fire and the food, so grease cannot drip into the flames, and the slightly dished cooktop sends excess grease to the center, where it burns off.
Built from CORTEN steel
The fire bowl is 10-gauge CORTEN steel, about 3.4 mm thick. It forms a protective rust-colored patina and needs no paint, and Arteflame builds it to stay outside all year.

Questions buyers ask
Can I build it into my patio? Yes, choose "No Base" to set the bowl into masonry or an outdoor kitchen.
Can it go on a wood deck? A low base works like a fire pit and passes heat down, so Arteflame does not recommend low bases on wood or manufactured decks; use tiles or a grill mat underneath.
Does it need a cover? No. Once the cooktop is seasoned and lightly oiled it can stay outside all year; a cover is optional.
How long does it take to heat up? Allow 30 to 45 minutes for the steel to heat through.
What fuel does it use? Hardwood such as hickory, oak, maple or fruit wood, or lump charcoal. Skip softwoods like pine and manufactured logs.
Can it run on gas? It is gas-ready: the center hole in the fire bowl takes a 1" gas pipe, for conversion by a professional installer.
