Solid construction, great, fast shipping.

This grill is beautiful and works perfectly. If you want real woodfired meat, this is the best option available on the internet.

MATERIAL & CARE
Materials
Initial Setup:
Regular Maintenance:
Storage:
- Grill Grates: 100% iron construction for superior heat retention and durability
- Elevation System: 100% iron construction with high-temperature resistant paint for durability in extreme heat.
Initial Setup:
- Before first use, season your grill grates by coating them lightly with high-heat cooking oil
- Heat the grill at medium temperature for 20-30 minutes to create a natural non-stick surface
Regular Maintenance:
- After each use, while grates are still warm, clean with a stiff wire brush to remove food residue
- Periodically reapply a thin layer of cooking oil to maintain the seasoned surface
- For stubborn residue, use hot water and a scraper, avoiding harsh.
Storage:
- If storing outdoors, use the recommended grill cover to protect from elements
- We recommend remove the grilling sections and store them indoors when not in use (they are designed to be easily removed and reinstalled)

"Perfect for authentic Argentine cooking at home."
"Built to last a lifetime. Worth every penny."
Built for Real Asado. Passed Down Through Family.
Our journey began in 2017, when Marcos started building Santa Maria grills inspired by the asados he grew up with in Argentina. What began as a personal project soon became GauchoLife.
In 2019, Sofi joined the journey, and today, as parents of three, we continue to build our grills the same way we live — with patience, care, and respect for tradition.
Our Santa Maria grills are made from heavy iron, designed with simple mechanics, and built for real asado over live fire. No shortcuts. No compromises.
GauchoLife stands for honest work, durable materials, and authentic Argentine heritage — so every grill belongs at the heart of your gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I cook on the grill?
Unlike other types of grills, Argentine grills use a unique mechanism of levers and pulleys to adjust the grill's height effortlessly. You have precise control over the grill's proximity to the heat source, allowing you to fine-tune the temperature to your desired intensity.
High heat. Sear steaks, roast potatoes and cook sausages.
Medium-high heat. Cook burgers, roast veggies, poultry and seafood.
Medium heat. Cook BBQ meat, slow-cook whole poultry and cook fish.
Low heat. Slow-cook meat, cook tender veggies, warm up bread and keep food warm.
Can you deliver grills internationally?
Absolutely! We provide international shipping services for grills of all sizes. We've partnered with FedEx to ensure your order reaches you swiftly and securely. Rest assured,
every shipment is covered by insurance for added protection and peace of mind.
You'll also have the convenience of tracking your order every step of the way.
What differences are there between this model and the Gaucho Grills in the store?
This Santa Maria model focuses on traditional elevation systems, while our Gaucho Grills offer different designs including portable options and modern innovations. Both maintain authentic Argentine grilling traditions with distinct features.
What alternative includes an integrated brasero?
For a complete grilling station with integrated brasero, consider the Grill Set with Santa Maria Grill and Brazier. This set provides continuous ember production and precise temperature control in one complete package.
Is there a similar option built in stainless steel?
Yes, the Santa Maria Grill Inox Grate offers the same functionality with a premium 304 stainless steel grate, providing enhanced durability and rust resistance for year-round outdoor use.
What model should I choose if I need a version with wheels for easy garden mobility?
For maximum mobility without sacrificing performance, the Santa Maria Grill with Cart is ideal. It features four sturdy wheels with a brake system for easy transport and secure placement anywhere in your outdoor space.
Are there other fire-cooking tools that pair well with a traditional parrilla?
Definitely. Gaucho Life's argentinian griddles offer a great complement to open-fire grilling. Tools like the disco para discada are ideal for preparing rich stews, while the carbon steel griddle lets you cook vegetables, seafood, or tacos directly over flame—all with authentic control and flavor.
What is the traditional barbecue in Argentina?
The traditional Argentine barbecue is called asado, where meats like ribs, sausages, or entire animals are slow-cooked over wood or charcoal embers. While parrillas are common, many fire cooks embrace the bbq cross method for a deeper connection with open-fire tradition. In our collection, you'll find handcrafted tools like the Argentinian Iron Cross and the Heavy Duty Asador Argentino - both designed for authentic asador argentino-style cooking.

Great time grilling
Great product! Was exactly what the description said and gives the rustic allure we were looking for.
After years of gas and charcoal grills, the Santa Maria Grill was exactly what I was looking for. Handcrafted, solid, and a joy to cook on. It's been the highlight of countless weekends at our lakeside backyard. The quality impressed me so much I came back for a custom campfire grate
My grill is Absolutely Magnificent. I haven't used yet because I'm building an enclosed Argentinian Parrilla made of brick.
Easy to assemble works incredible over the wood fire!
I've had my Gaucho Grill for about 5-6 months and used it all summer. Great experience overall. The only minor issue is some rust developing in certain areas, but nothing a little paint can't fix. Everything else has been smooth, the height adjustment system works beautifully, and the price is very reasonable compared to other brands. Highly recommend!
Very easy to pit together arrived pretty quick. Haven't used it but its a beautiful piece.
Sehr gut, hochwärtiges Material, hart
Absolutely fantastic! It is always a bit worrying ordering something like this online. It can be hard to tell the quality just from the pictures. I was worried it might be thin gauge steel, or maybe the grill bars were welded without additional material like storebought grills, or maybe the grill bars weren't made of heat resistant high quality steel and would quickly warp. I am happy to say that my fears did not come true! This thing is amazing! It came packaged so well you could ground ship it around the world and it wouldn't get a scratch! It is super high quality! This is maybe the single greatest online purchase I have ever made! Highly recommended! The whole thing went together in like 20 minutes too!
The item is exactly what I need! The assembly was easy with a QR code to a YouTube video. It was super well packed and shipping was quick and easy.
We have used our Santa Maria style grill two times since it arrived. We have loved the experience, the taste of the food that it helps produce, and being able to have an affordable way to enter into this type of cooking. The black paint started coming off immediately, but that is the only thing that has been any issue. The service and shipping time form Gaucholife iswas wonderful. Highly recommend!
The grill was a gift for my husband. He is building the platform and was going to attempt to weld a grill. I chose to purchase Gaucho Lifes grill instead and he was BLOWN AWAY. It is very high quality but essy to put together after you unwrap from shipping. We cant wait to put it into the platform, so we already put it over our firepit to test it out. It is a game changer
Folks, this is by far the best bang for your buck deal you can get. If you want a reliable Santa Maria grill without breaking the bank, this is it! You wont be disappointed.
Very nice quality watch adult assembled

Vendedor muy profesional y con total disponibilidad
Nice product “I recently tried out my new outdoor couch grill and am thoroughly impressed with its performance and build quality. The grill is manufactured using high-quality steel, making it both sturdy and durable—perfect for withstanding outdoor elements. The design is both practical and sleek, blending seamlessly into any backyard setup while offering reliable grilling capabilities.
Perfect Grill for Open Flames This grill was exactly what I wanted it to be. Fast shipping. East assembly. Worked perfectly. Cooking over an open flame gets you the flavor of smoking while allowing you to keep the meat rare if that’s what you are going for. And it’s much faster. One note only: I replaced the bolt and nut on the break for a Clevis pin, which won’t work it’s way out over time.
Great item. Shop owner even accommodated specific delivery time frame
Like it and would recommend it.
This grill is beautiful and works perfectly. If you want real woodfired meat, this is the best option available on the internet. Having the ability to control the distance between the grates and the coals is essential for temperature and flavor control. I cannot think of another grill style that will do that. Just buy it already!
Great material and quality crated.
Very pleased with the item and its perfect.
The grill is awesome everything is perfect
