See what our customers have to say:
Absolutely LOVE our outdoor kitchen. The grill alone is fantastic. With the added infrared, you get even cooking all the time. We had to wait several weeks to get it, but it was well worth the wait. Elite Patio kept us informed and we got a couple bonus items thrown in. Very happy with our purchase.
Made beautifully , The Mont Alpi is the envy of friends that have had built in outdoor kitchens that cost more to build
I placed the order and received the product within one week. The staff was very helpful and answered my questions patiently. The product arrived in great condition. Was able to get it installed without problem, worked great so far.
We are very happy with our outdoor kitchen island BUT the post sales service is A+, great job!
I purchased the Mont Alpi 400 Deluxe grill from Elite Patio and have now had the grill for about two months. I am very pleased with both the grill and Elite Patio. I have recommended both to friends. Elite Patio delivered as promised, their customer service was friendly and helpful, and I am thoroughly enjoying my new grill . It looks and feels like a custom built in grill, but at a fraction of the cost. My only feedback is that it is hard to keep a low temp setting with the hood closed. The pizza oven has been fun and was a nice addition.
I love the stylish look. Excellent BBQ option for my patio space. I used it the 1st time to grill lamb chops. They turned out great.
We LOVE our outdoor kitchen and Elite Patio Direct went above and beyond to make everything right. My only issue is with the Mont Alpi instructions on putting the kitchen together. For the investment, Mont Alpi should provide more detailed directions, or better yet-Video step-by-step instructions. I recently purchased updated electrical light/dimmer switches and they came with a link with video directions. Mont Alpi needs this. But once our outdoor kitchen was put together, it looks fantastic and operates flawlessly!
I absolutely love this griddle! I looked at several brands before deciding on the LeGriddle. It cooks very even and is a breeze to clean. Elite Patio had the best price and customer service. Excellent choice!
I love the look the east to put it together and the grill in space it is by far the best barbecue that I have gotten in a long time. 100% will I recommend this to my friends and family
Very Satisfied with this product. The Outdoor Kitchen arrived in 4 pallets with professional packing, with no damage or scratches. The assembly process was easy and straight forward. The end product was amazing and professional grade!!! The addition of this outdoor kitchen was well worth the wait and an excellent addition to our pool deck. Lastly the Pizza oven is a big hit!!!!
Ricky and his Elite Patio Direct Team answered all my questions up front before purchase then super fast shipping. I had TEC Sterling Patio 44” along with stand and most every TEC cooking accessory offered. Delicious chickenl, beef tenderloin fillets, oysters and fish have been served from the grill. My family and guests say juiciest tasty grilling ever served. Thanks again TECaling with Ricky and team at Elite Patio direct.
overall very nice grill, super smooth **** & cooks great. only complaint is warming rack is really big and makes it kind of hard to reach the back portion of main cooking grate
We were very pleased with the whole process. Elite Patio kept us informed of our order status and everything we ordered showed up as promised in perfect condition. I will definitely buy there again!
This is the Ferrari of grills!!!! It does everything I hoped for and I love that the ceramic burners will last longer than my old stainless steel burner grill. Everything is as promised. Couldn’t be happier!!

Arteflame Kamado Style Solid Plancha Griddle Inserts
Now you can achieve steakhouse quality steaks at home with the addition of an Arteflame insert that fits your Green Egg / Kamado.
Once you swap your old grate out for the Arteflame plancha/griddle insert you are on your way to grilling your meats the same way they do at top steakhouse restaurants.
The plancha gives the perfect sear while not overcooking the inside of your steak. While the steak is sizzling in its own juices, it naturally picks up the great smokey flavor from the live fire.
The juices from traditional grill grates drip down into the fire along with the flavor. Live wood fire seasons the meat naturally, with a taste you cannot achieve any other way.
Most importantly, the plancha griddle gets super hot, which is the key to sealing in great taste and flavor. Nothing will ever compare to this formula. That is why the top restaurant steakhouse steaks taste so great.
These three key factors are crucial towards getting you the steakhouse quality steaks you can now grill in your own backyard.
Made in the USA, Arteflame inserts are exceptional for grilling seafood, burgers, veggies and more for the same key reasons above.
The Arteflame Big Green Egg inserts include three 3" risers in the 18" and 24” sizes. These risers clip onto the outer edge of the insert and raise it so that the plancha sits just below the felt gasket of your egg.
This makes it very convenient to grill without having to reach into the grill.
The Arteflame insert for the Kamado versions have locating holes so they can be used on top of the flexible cooking rack.
Note: When your grill arrives, the cooktop will be silver (unseasoned). It will develop the dark color shown in the images once it has been seasoned and used several times. Here is the guide to seasoning your cooking surface (instructions will also be included with your delivered product.
UNPARALLELED QUALITY WITH ATTENTION TO DETAIL:
- Arteflame only uses certified steel. This steel is cleaned, rinsed, and scale-free. This is a crucial distinction between less expensive cooktop surfaces that are unsafe for cooking, and materials that can make you ill, deteriorate quickly, or chip and break.
- When steel is made, an oxide layer referred to as “scale” appears. This is due to the scaly nature of its appearance that develops on the surface of the steel. This scale contains all the impurities in the steel that come to the surface when the steel cools. Arteflame uses an extensive cleaning process that removes any scale and all other impurities before we even start manufacturing. This results in the smooth, clean Arteflame insert surface you see and grill on.
- Arteflame steel then gets precision cut on expensive laser machines, wiped clean and oiled. This insures every Arteflame insert will have a smooth, food grade surface where no food particles can lodge and hide.
- This step, while more expensive, ensures a top quality product that is immediately ready for cooking and also guaranteed to be food grade safe.
Carbon Steel vs Cast Iron
- Carbon Steel and Cast Iron are very similar. This is why both are very good for cooking and grilling. The main difference is that Carbon Steel contains about 1% Carbon while Cast Iron contains 2% - 3% Carbon. This difference might not sound like much but the carbon effects the grain structure of the metal.
- When Cast Iron is heated unevenly, the heat differential causes stress in the metal as the thermal expansion is uneven. When this stress encounters a pocket of carbon, Cast Iron cracks. This is also why Cast Iron often breaks when it is dropped. The area of high carbon is extremely brittle and can’t stand the shock.
- In a grill, the heat is never uniform. This makes cast Iron an especially poor choice for grill inserts. For this reason, all Arteflame cooktops, inserts, griddles and Burger Pucks are made of only Carbon Steel.
