I don't think there's one available that's big enough to handle the load this place would put on it. :lol:

Well, you better figure something out. It would sure be a shame to lose that EFM to corrosion.

People with gun safes put 100w light bulbs in them to act as a de-humidifier. Anyone do that with stoves ?

If you've seen pictures of his basement you'd recall the river running through it. He'd need a light bulb equivalent to a small sun.

Any dehumidifier would need to have the power of the Sun then. Sun it up !

I left the valves open - it's at 150°. No chance of corrosion at those temps. That's why I need to get that 1" insulation board chopped up and glued to the thing. It's keeping the house pretty warm just as it sits right now. Got up to 78° in here the other day during that nice warm spell we had.
