Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to cook on the Argentinian Iron Cross?1
Cooking a small pig (25–30 lbs) takes about 4 to 5 hours, while a whole lamb can take up to 6 or 7 hours depending on the fire intensity. The result is a crisp, golden skin with juicy, tender meat.
Is the Iron Cross easy to assemble and adjust?
Yes. Customers often mention how easy it is to set up and manage during cooking. The locking arms and adjustable base make it simple to tilt or rotate the cross 360° for even exposure to heat.
What kind of meat can I cook with it?
This grill works perfectly for whole lambs, suckling pigs, goats, wild hogs, or multiple chickens. The structure holds heavy cuts securely, ensuring balance and stability during long fire sessions.
How durable is the construction?
The Iron Cross is handmade in Argentina from solid steel. It’s built to last for years of outdoor use, with excellent resistance to heat and oxidation when maintained with a light oil coat after cooking.
Can I combine this setup with other Gaucho Life grills?
Absolutely. Many users pair the cross grill with a Santa María Grill for reverse searing or with a Gaucho Grill for side dishes and steaks, creating a complete asado experience.

Gorgeous mate cup. Smells so good to. Thank you.
Espectacular!!!!! Todo lo que yo e comprado es de una calidad hermosa. Muchas gracias!!!
Item arrived fast. The quality of the cup and workmanship was excellent. The wood looks beautiful and very solid. Rhe wood is aromatic. I enjoyed sipping my Yerba Mate using the cup.
This mate cupgourd is beautiful and well crafted. Shipping from Argentina to US was super fast! I had a slight issue when ordering and the seller was very responsive and helpful. Color is slightly darker than in photo but still very beautiful and I actually preferred the darker woodstain. Would highly recommend
Marcos was very responsive. Had a problem with my original product, but he resolved it very quickly and even kept in contact to show me how to care for the product
This is the highest quality wooden mate gourd Ive seen. It is beautiful and it crafted beautifully. It has a sweet smell and I cant wait to drink mate out of it once its cured.
Beautiful gourd and bombilla set, met all my expectations
Estoy muy contenta con mi mate!! Hermosa la madera y su bombilla artesanal le da un toque sofisticado. Gracias!
A beautiful, elegant design! Fits perfectly in my hand. The bombilla is very nice as well.
Absolutely beautiful cups, worth the money in every way, my mum was so happy! Oh and it comes with straws, we didnt realise and they were also brilliant quality. Thank you so much!
A simple and elegant mate gourd! Its exactly what I was looking for. Its a bit on the smaller side.
Great quality and shipped super fast. Love my new mate!!
Beautiful wood and perfect shape. Fits well in my hand and is a wider bowl for more mate. Ive had different gourds before and this one by far is my favorite.
This cup is incredibly nice! Im super happy. In addition, I got a straw with the purchase of high quality. The seller wrote a personal thankyou note in the package, which was very cute. It felt personal and nice to get packages from them. I live in Sweden and I ordered this Yerba Mate cup which seems to be sent from South America, despite this it was an enormously fast delivery. It arrived faster than products that I ordered from Europe the same day. So, delivery is incredibly fast and good!
Just came in today. Beautifully made, 100 recommend to pick one up. Shipping was extremely fast!
He comprado este mate desde Espana y lo acabo de recibir hoy mismo tras no muchos dias. He de decir que la calidad y diseno del mate han superado mis espectativas por mucho. Estoy muy contento de poder tenerlo por fin. Sin duda volvere a comprar en Gaucho en futuras ocasiones.
Everything is perfect. The item has arrived in Italy in 7 days. The mate is perfect sized for a little cebada. Very recommended. High quality guitar bombilla in Alpaca. Very satisfied.
Excellent product super fast shipping love it
Super fast shipping! Beautiful gourd! Loved the videos on curing and getting started. Recommend this shop!
Great product, excited to start using this gourd. Bombilla is nice too, better than what US sellers have.
This mate is awesome! Its so hard to find mate cups made of calden wood. The one I had finally cracked after 10 years of use and only Bc I my son kept leaving used Yerba in it. Since then, Ive spent months searching for one thats similar in quality to the one I had. So when I saw this one, I immediately bought two. There was confusion in the shipping process and only got 1 in the mail. But Marcos replied to my message within MINUTES, apologized and gave me a new tracking number literally within the hour. He also didnt have to, but he sent an extra straw as a gift to apologize for having only sent half my order. I will definitely be checking out their other products. Good quality and insanely fast shipping. Very happy with gaucho life.
