We have a woodstove and we keep a teapot on it to add humidity to the air. It is just a woodstove though (fireplace insert actually) though it does have a flat spot that you can use with small pans for cooking. I know people who keep a pot of water on the stove for their tea in the wintertime. I haven't done that yet, but I want to try it next winter.

We want to have a "pioneer" day next winter where we turn down the heat (don't want to risk frozen pipes), cook homemade soup on the stove, and use candles for light.
