Adding humidity back into the air
What are all of those who are using wood stoves for heat using to add moisture back into the house? Does the kettle on top of the stove really work? Is that effective?
Running my stove only a couple of days and already having dry throats and other dry "items".
thanks

If you could have your dryer exhaust to the inside of the house, that would help with the ambient humidity.
I don't have that option where I live (military housing), so in the winter I normally keep a vaporizer running most days to keep the humidity up.

I don't know how effective it is, but, I use a cast iron kettle (cheapo from Tractor Supply). On the colder days, I probably put up to a gallon of water in it throughout the day, can hear it out there steaming right now......

But please make sure it is not the start of CO poisoning.

I bought the kettle for our wood stove, works better than just a pot. I have a meter in the house to watch the moisture level, and the kettle keeps the moisture level in the sweet spot. No dry skin or such!
