Arteflame One Series

I am so impressed with this product, I’m moved to write about it. First of all, I bought this for my husband since he does all the grilling. (We bought the One40)The initial reason I caved in was because it looked so much better than the Egg that we already had in our backyard. WOW was this a major improvement! When it was delivered I was a bit skeptical. It arrived looking different than in the photos. Later I realized this was because the steel has unique patinas which makes every single one so unique. Totally true as the one we got had really nice sections that had different colors all over it. Within days of it arriving, I already noticed it turning much more uniform in color; gorgeous! The real test was in the cooking. Four days after we received it we cooked for my mother and my three kids. We cooked fish that had NO problems whatsoever cooking evenly and without the sticking that normally occurs when my husband cooks fish. We made asparagus and cut potatoes in half to crisp on all sides. Everything was delicious. But the reason I am leaving a review was due to the fact that I was not intimidated to cook on this. It reminded me of cooking with a pan on a stovetop. The surface is flat and doesn’t shoot flames at me which i hate. The other reason is because it was SO easy to clean. After the food was done, we pushed everything into the middle opening with the spatula!! This grill looks like art and I never thought i would ever ever be able to say that about an outdoor grill!!!

My brand new one series 20” arrived several days ago and I was very eager to give it a try. The looks and solid construction are outstanding. However, I spent most of the evening dodging smoke from the wood fire. This is NOT what I expected. My best guess is that there is insufficient air flow to properly support a wood flame; I’m not the expert, but that is my semi-informed opinion. Very good company, well manufactured product but, due to excess smoke with wood fires a “2” on a good day.
