Everyone who heats with wood soon learns that wood stoves tend to dry out the room air. Fortunately, most stoves provide a hot top
surface where a container of water can be placed to re-humidify the home atmosphere as the water steams away.
We once tried using a standard steel kettle as a stovetop steamer, only to find that when the kettle boiled dry, the solder that held the bottom on
liquified and the kettle came apart. We switched to a cast iron kettle, but the unfinished insides soon rusted; the steam (and the room) smelled like
rust, and we couldn't drink the water.
Enter the Liberty Foundry Porcelain Kettle Steamer. These heavy cast iron kettles are porcelain coated both inside and out, so they don't rust or
impart any flavors to the water. A porcelain kettle steamer enhances the appearance of any woodstove installation while adding healthful, odor-free
humidity to the room.
