dew solutions for 10" dob

Hello, last night I ordered the Hardin 10". I am anticipating dew problems this winter, if the clouds ever go away and I actually get a chance to use it. A couple of weeks ago I was outside with my 6" Orion eq. trying to look at the moon, and the image was real blurry, so I went to change to a lower X eyepiece and noticed the secondary was all fogged up. Can anyone recommend a good setup for a 10"dob. Thanks guys.

I plan to install cooling fans on the primary. Will this keep the dew off of it as well as cool it?
