Congrats. I got my 28" with soft cover back in September, loving it. Haven't used it as much as I hoped, now it's getting colder outside, and I keep it under a rooftop area. Worry if I do not use it at least 1-2 times per month it it will rust. I clean after every use, and put a small coating of veg oil after cleaning. May get the hard lid for better storing though. There's only the 2 of us now.
