MATERIAL & CARE
- 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)

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?

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.

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.
