I have the 36" that we use for tailgating in the fall. We have a large group and we absolutely love it. As others have said, if you season it properly and take care of it when you're not using it you shouldn't have a problem. Mine has been in my garage since football season in the fall. Getting ready to load it up tomorrow for the weekend. When I checked on it last night it is just as I left it this fall and ready to roll!
