Hello,

I recently had an Ashford 25 installed and am curious what my options are for humidification? On my old standalone stove at my last house I just used a cast iron kettle; however, moving to this insert, it seems there is little room for a kettle, and even with that, it seems like the stove doesn't get hot enough on this surface to do much to the water since the blower fan current seems to cool it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
