wood stove steamers?

[jibwaylarry]

We have a cast-iron, enameled decorative steamer on our stove, bought from one of the local wood-stove stores. It works great, but the interior is unfinished, and now rusty, so the hot water inside is not potable. L.L. Bean has a “Lattice Stovetop Steamer” you may like. The inside is also enameled, so may do double-duty as a cook pot.

It will make it more comfortable inside as well. You can pick them up at Ace downtown as well, but any good heavy pot will work.

I think that we got ours at the Red Store in Murphys but I suggest you might shop first in Arnold.

We got our blue enamel cast iron one at one of the resale shops in Murphys. I think the antique shop there also had some…

Thanks for the replies. By chance did you pick up the steamer locally? If so, where?

We have a decorative one made of cast iron and the steam makes a big difference. A regular pot would probably work too.

Never came close to being concerned about too much moisture.

We have a decorative steamer/pot on top of the wood stove. It makes a significant difference with dry skin, breathing, warmer feel, etc and we have had no issue with mold. Yes, I believe a cook pot would suffice, but something more decorative is simply nice.

Anyone use a wood stove steamer to help with dry air in the winter time? I saw some decorative ones but, I am assuming a regular pot of water would do the same thing. I am guessing you would have to boil off a lot of water to create mold issues. Any experiences?
