> It was running 2 burners with water on our gas stove all night long that kept our house from freezing

As in, boiling the water? Wasn’t it very humid?



Unlikely in the winter. My current humidity sits at 17%, for example, far below the comfort level (no house-HVAC humidifier installed).

I would welcome a couple of boiling pots in my room right now.


You seem to be somewhere that has a real winter. I’m in a region of New Zealand where we have hot and humid summers and cool and humid winters. Our temperature range is only about 5-30 degrees C, which is small compared to many places.


Yeah, I have a humidifier that matches the square feet of the house running and it can't keep humidity over 20% when it gets colder. Need to work on air leaks I guess.
