Humidifier

This is a synonym for boiling a pot of water on your stove to introduce extra humidity into your home. If you have multiple stoves, it is recommended that you boil at least one large pot on each until desired humidity is reached.

The accepted boiling pot humidifier does introduce extra carbon monoxide into a home and does require unsupervised open flames to be present for long periods of time. This is sometimes seen as as item of concern, but this is why fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors exist and any such concens can and should be disregarded.

This may also refer to:
 * Circular looking, hard to reach attachments to a furnace that do not require a constant boiling pot of water. That said, these "humidifiers" require annual maintenance and as such, are not seen as viable as simply boiling water continuously.


 * Stand alone devices that approximate the effectiveness of a boiled pot of water.
