What is a "normal" humidity level and how to achieve with an insert?

Before I put the Princess in I could run one of the units and maintain 45% all day long...not so much anymore. I couldn't believe the difference the stove made in the drop in humidity...and the cold temps obviously, but with out a doubt the stove made a huge difference.

wow, I didn't think it would either. my house is pretty dry right now too. between the woodstove and pellet stove it dries it out. but when I use the hot tub it is fine for a couple days.

I can definitely see gaps in the wood floor (shrinkage) when I never had it in the past...just sayin
