We have a small woodstove (Lopi Patriot model) and as anyone who uses a woodstove knows, the air gets very dry when we use it. Dry eyes, dry noses, and static electricity. So, I'd like to buy a steamer to set on the stove to add moisture back into the air.
Unfortunately, all of the steamers and kettles I have seen are rather large and wouldn't fit on the top of our small woodstove very nicely.
So, I'm curious if anyone knows where I could find a SMALL steamer (to fit on a 6" ledge), or what other options I might have for setting on the stove. I don't have a lot of money right now, so I'd prefer something under $50. It should also be black to match the stove, it shouldn't rust or leave marks on the stove, and it shouldn't be damaged if it runs out of water.
I'm currently using a glass pyrex dish which has helped with the air situation, but doesn't look very attractive. I'm also worried about it cracking when I need to add more water, and don't know what would happen if it ran dry.
Thanks,
Anthony
