Seasonal Smells

[NordicSplitter]

I heard you can buy something to place on top of your woodstove that produces different smells like apple, cinammon, pine, etc... Is this a ceramic pottery jar where you fill it with some kind of liquid and the temperature of the stove does the rest? Would be nice for the Holidays...

I once put some spruce needles in the cast kettle on my wood stove, and it smelled nice. The key is, don't let the kettle boil dry like I did once....

I have a humidifier pot on my stove that I keep filled with water. Add cinnamon sticks, pine needles, whatever you please, smells very nice.

I too have a humidifier pot I fill with water. I use scented oils you drop in the water that smell great and come in various scents. We bought ours at the local stove shop.

Shawn - what do you use for a pot on that Manny? I worried about cast iron on the stone (scratching). Cheers!

I have an enamel coated pot w/ lid that sits on a trivet. I will snap a pic of it for you on Tuesday.

I was looking for some natural oils to place in the stainless steel pot I have on top of the stove, they sale them all over the place. The problem was that I was concerned that the scents are chemicals and not natural. So I finally found a solution, I bought 100% pure oils like, clove, tea tree, eucalyptus, orange and peppermint. We used the clove and the scent lasted for days with only a few drops! It smelled great. What I am happy about is that it is good for you as well...

Enamel covered pot on a trivet . . . the first year I bought some fancy schmancy oils and stuff on-line that are supposedly made for this purpose . . . now I just go into Walmart and buy the cheap potpourri and add it into the pot once in a while . . . changing the scent on my fancy . . . the other day I put in "fresh linen" . . . will soon switch over to the "Christmas tree" scent or "apple cinnamon". I suppose if I was really cheap I could just throw in some pine needles.

I ain't puttin no cheap Walmart potpurry stuff on top of my Hearthstone. I'd sooner dress a pig in a tutu and I don't want my home stinking like Walmart. Nothing but the finest fancy schmancy oils purchased from a Whole Foods Emporium of good repute in a genuine antique Revere Ware copper and brass antique tea kettle, and a highly polished one at that.

(Besides, the pine needles are pretty dry around here now, I checked them yesterday).

I need to get a bigger tea kettle pot. I just bought a tea kettle and some scents, from Wally World. But I'm constantly replacing water in the tea kettle. Last year, I used a metal coffee can, but they rusted out. But I love the smell that they put out, while enjoy the flames in the stove.

 

[BrotherBart]

I don't know what the stuff is but it smells nice. I will ask the butler and report back.

:gulp: :shut: Ah, that may pose a problem when loading the stove.... :ahhh:

I love the smell of cinnamon sticks with whole cloves in the water.....and a lil nutmeg.....yummy...

 

[jeromehdmc]

Cinnamon sticks and cloves smell great when you come in the door, never tried nutmeg in there...yet.
I'm with Milt...no WM stench here.

 

[ScotO]

agreed Milt.....gotta love that antique copper and I am sure it looks great on that Hearthstone!!

 

[shawneyboy]

Nh here is what I use.... It just sits there. I don't have to move it to fill it. Only time I move it is to clean it, and the trivet stays. No scratches no worries.

 

[jeromehdmc]

Is it better to have a steamer with a small or large opening or does it matter at all.

 

[Milton Findley]

Depends on how hot your stove gets and how often you want to refill the steamer. The larger the opening, the more water vapor that escapes. If you are running a stove hot enough to boil the water, any opening will suffice.

Walmart sells scented oils in the candle section for like $2 a bottle.

 

[shortmillie]

No mention of placing pennies between the wood stove and the steam pot....
my Jotul salesman told me there's a chance of the pot fusing to the cast iron and to always place a few pennies between.
Anyone else heard of this?
I'm using an old copper pot from a junk store with cinnamon sticks and whole cloves, sitting on 5 pennies- just in case.

Who knows what chemicals are in these oils, from China prob.
