CAST IRON KETTLE??? Our apartment is REALLY dry! Besides a humidifier, what can I do?

It's just really dry in here and I'm not in the mood to spend money right now. Any suggestions?

You can leave a bowl of water in every room, or you can boil a big pot of water on the stove. I don't like a humidifier because it makes everything soggy, soI leave a bowl of water on my night stand. We have a dry apartment, as well.

Place a bucket filled with water on the radiator...

crack the window?
boil off some water?
leave the door open when you shower?

Okay, so I put a bowl of water on the window sill above the radiator. Think that will help?

Okay, I've been researching. They say that cast iron kettles, like what you'd put on a wood burning stove are good. So do you think a Creuset from TJ Maxx would work? The ones I'm seeing online are about 100$ while the kettles could be a bit less.
