Thanks, lots of info there, I'll give it a read.
How well would something like that handle our winters?
I keep mine in a small shed during winter if i'm not using it on a given day, so I have no issues. Seasoning it helps. Coat the inside with a cooking oil, and get the temperature up to 250-275. Let that go for about 30 minutes, and the oil will create a barrier that will fill in any imperfections, and prevent water from getting in and creating rust. If you buy one, the instructions will tell you whether or not you have to season it.
Even if you don't, you want to get it fired up fo 45 minutes to an hour the first time with no food, again at 250-275, just to burn off any residue from manufacturing.
