Arteflame Flat-Top Kit

Yes, it is designed as a drop-in replacement. You remove your standard grate and place the Arteflame kit directly into your kamado cooker using the included risers to ensure proper airflow and positioning.

Maintenance is similar to a cast-iron skillet. While the surface is still warm, scrape off any food residue, wipe it clean with a cloth, and apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust and maintain the seasoning.

Not at all. The center of the kit features an open grill grate, allowing direct flame contact for searing, while the surrounding ring provides the flat-top surface. You still get the authentic charcoal smoke you expect from a kamado grill.

Yes, you should season the carbon steel before your first use. Heating the metal and applying a thin layer of oil creates a natural, low-stick patina that will continue to improve and darken with every cook.

That is the primary design feature. You can sauté vegetables or fry eggs on the outer ring while simultaneously searing steaks or burgers over the open flame in the center.
