Can this handle a significant amount of moisture? I would be using it as a vent hood for a boil kettle. Approximate boil off is 1.5 gallons per hour.

I wouldn't... The fan looks to be plastic but the motor is enclosed within the unit so I would worry about the bearings and armature rusting.

Probably. What volumes are we talking here? I would be worried about inhomogeneities above a few gal but a few quarts on the stovetop and you'd be fine. It reads contiuously so you could watch the temp fluctuate with time.

No, the Venta works off relative humidity. It only evaporates as much water as the from room needs.

I am currently using this burner with a 100qt (25Gal) pot for brewing. It can heat sparge water rather well (~168F), however using the 100qt as a boil kettle with about 15 gallons of wort produces only a rolling boil. With the lid on you'll get a vigorous boil, but you dont want to keep the lid on for boiling your wort. The 5PSI regulator and small burner dont put out enough BTUs to get a strong vigorous boil on a 100qt pot. For smaller 5 and 10 gallon batches in a 15 gallon pot this burner seems fine.

I am not sure. At near boiling temperatures at high altitude, if there is a lot suction on the intake side the water might cavitate and prime be lost. This is only my speculation.

No. Definitely not. If you're wanting something that adds a measurable amount of moisture to the air, get an actual humidifier. This diffuser is only about 6 inches tall, and outputs less than 1 cup of water over about 6-8 hours. I use it for aromatherapy and it sits on my desk at work. It's that small.

My house is 3,300 and it's is more than enough. I would say "yes" you will be fine. It may take and extra day to humidify, but the end result will be great.

It's not too bad. I run it on fan speed of 3 which is plenty to humidify the house. I do have it in a room that is not normally occupied though. I don't think you'd want to have it sitting next to you in your living room or bedroom. We have a wood stove and this unit is well worth a little humming noise to generate some humidity in the house. We love it!

I would advise against it. Formula only is good for 1 hour out in open air. If you use this to only heat what you plan to feed for that feeding session, it won't be enough to hit the min. quantity for the kettle yo work properly. Plus, this kettle is not easy to clean.

I've never tried it...but I think it would work based on the amount of steam the unit produces. It's not a rolling boil but it is a good, steady steam. Good luck!

I bought this kettle to use on top of my wood stove to put some moisture into the air. It works quite well for that, and I believe that is probably what it was designed for. I wouldn't suggest using it as a tea kettle as it does rust inside when water is left in it, and it doesn't whistle. For the price, and for what I am using it for though, it works great!

I wouldn't use this for canning or anything else that requires long cooking. There's some type of built in shut-off mechanism...for safety's sake, I'm sure...that shuts it off about every 5 minutes. I use it for melting candle wax, and I sometimes have to re-start it a couple of times when melting even small amounts in a 2-pound pour pitcher. It would probably be durable enough, but the auto shut-off thing is a pain.

The space I use mine is is approx 1/2 of what you described and on a really humid day (95+%) in California, this unit will take 3-5 hours to reduce the humidity to approx 55-60%. I have mine drain into my sink so I don't have to worry about emptying the container. I don't know the volume of moisture it removes but it is way more than the collection container can hold. It's very adequate for my needs. Puts out a little heat and a good stream of air off the condenser. Hope this helps.

Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it. I live in the States and it plugged into a regular socket fixture where it has worked fine ever since. Cord is not overly long btw. It does give off a lot of hot steam towards the end of its' cycle, so you don't want to position it under a cupboard. I have the pourer facing away from my 'above' cabinets. I like it well enough, but it's really not that much quicker than a regular stove top kettle. It pours cleanly and is helpful for filling hot water bottles and the like. I moved so not sure where my instruction booklet is - apologies for not answering this query properly. Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it.

this should work fine for canner, I have used to hold up to 8 gallons of water in a similar type pot at 150 degrees for a couple of hours. you will need a thermometer on the canner to verify temp

i have read that it can handle high temperature -40f upto 212f , but i myself would not risk putting in boiling water.
