Soot!

Charcoal! My mother in law from Korea came here to help us out with the baby. One thing she brought from Korea was a stump of charcoal. This stump of charcoal is put in a pan with water in it and the water rises! It goes against gravity...nutty! What does it do? It's supposed to make the humidity go up. We need this because our room feels real dry.

Here is a picture of the charcoal stump.
