Humidifying A Guitar Room?

I am going to need to run a humidifier all winter so my guitars don't get dried up. I heat with a wood stove and it gets pretty dry here. Usually my guitars get the fret barbs from the neck shrinking, and lacquer cracks again from the dry air. I have put water on the wood stove but it does not do it. The wood stove is in the kitchen and the guitar room is off the kitchen.

I read that the newer technologies are suspect as they can put other things in the air like minerals that can have negative health effects. They also clog up. I will probably have to use melted snow because my well water is high in iron.

Any suggestions...I mean serious suggestion you pack of smart asses?

Buy a $1 plastic soap dish holder thing from target or wherever. Buy a sponge that fits inside. 

 

Punch holes in the soap holder. 

 

Wet sponge. 

 

Put sponge in holder. 

 

Put finished product in guitar case under headstock/neck. 

 

Done!

 

If you leave them outside of a case, you'l have to look into a humidifier which are germ machines amongst other things. 

 

You could just deal with the problem of neck shrinkage too, they only shrink so much and after a few years you can file it down and be done with it.
