Adding humidity

[dragracer300]

I have seen several pics on the net of pellet stoves with a pot or kettle on top like you would use on a wood stove. Are these mostly for looks or do they help add humidity? My stove hardly gets warm on top the old wood stoves would boil the water so do these help on not?
Thanks

One thing I do to add some humidity is to not/don't use the bathroom fan while showering. It does add some, Just look at the mirror. Free too!

I'm guessing that the great majority are decorative only.

I have a cast iron hand painted kettle on my stove. It was purley decorative untill I changed the burn settings on the stove. Untill Yesterday the only hot area on the stove was the door with settings of 1-3-1. Now with settings of 3-4-1, I finally have some nice heat output on heat range 4-7. The top is not hot enough to boil water, but it is hot to touch and any heat causes quicker evaporation.
