Do you use humidifier to on stoves with fan?

[garth_2022]

I am finding my humidity in the living room down to 29% when the forced air from the Hi500/CI2700 has the fan blowing all the time.
I have baseboard heating because I know how forced air heat dries out a home. Now that I am using the stove insert for my heat, I am encountering that humidity issue.
I have a n ultrasonic humidifier I used, until I read that they cause more harm than good with ozone or something else (I don't recall), so I hesitate to use that now.
What are you guys doing?

FWIW, almost any form of heating that raises the interior temp well above the dew point will dry out a home. The question of using the stove is asked many times here. Using a kettle on a wood stove is an inefficient method and often just a trivial source that is not effective. A humidifier will be much more effective.

Alternative to Cast Iron Kettle for humidity

Hey guys. I know ultimately the kettle of water on a wood stove doesn't greatly increase room humidity, but we have found it helps in our tiny little room and when the winter is especially dry. We have typically used a small cast iron kettle, as we only have a wood stove insert with a top that...

wood stove and humidification

HI, Thank you in advance for your contribution, can we say that it is actually necessary to humidify the air by burning wood? I understand that absolute humidity does not change, only relative humidity changes. I have a hygrometer, but I think it's Chinese, and at any temperature it oscillates...

Thanks, and a kettle won't work for a stove insert anyway.
I always laughed when people said put a cup of water on your baseboard heater to add humidity to the room.
