Finally a way to keep the nostrils from drying out:
This cast iron kettle is very sturdy and it looks great on our wood stove. Keeping it full of water while burning a fire to keep the house warm is a great way to keep moisture in the air. Before using this kettle, it became hard to breathe since my nose and throat would dry out. Now there are no worries! I would recommend this kettle for anyone who uses a wood stove or burns a fire for household heat.
Smells strange:
This is a great idea, and looks great in the house, but the first time I used it, it smelled a horrible chemical smell throughout the house. When I went to change/add water, I noticed the bottom of the pot was all "bubbly", the sides a bit like this too. I could scrape of the bottom coating with a spoon. Maybe mine was defective? I know this will just be decoration as I am afraid to heat water in it now!
nice humidifier!:
We like this kettle very much. It could not be used as a teapot - it gets rusty on the inside - and it is very heavy and somewhat difficult to lift; but it sits on top of the wood stove and helps to humidify our house in the dry winter. Excellent value for the money!
Classic Rustic Kettle:
If you have a wood-burning stove in your home or cabin, this is an essential item. It restores much needed humidity where wood-stoves can tend to dry out a room or environment. It's also made of heirloom quality cast-iron and is sure to last many generations.
EHH, NOT GREAT:
The kettle does function, but the paint is flaking off. I use this on my wood burning stove, and it does steam up and humidify, but the paint isn't great. I am planning on re-painting it. so, it works for what I bought it for, but its not pretty.
