While growing up, our house was heated with an oil burning furnace that had one large floor grate in the middle of the house. My mother kept a pan of water on the grate all winter long and kept refilling it as the water evaporated. We kids always had to be careful not to knock it over or get burned. It worked quite well since none of us remember getting sore throats due to dry conditions.
Good luck with your humidity problem.

I bought a house a few years ago and began my first experience with floor furnaces. I just raise up the grate and put a pot of water down in there on top of the heat exchanger. I considered wiring something like a cake pan to the underside of the grate. Then all you have to do in the future is pour water through the grate into the pot or pan. It evaporates due to the heat and works really well. The only problem I've had is that the water is kind of hard here and I get a lot of mineral scaling in the pot or pan I use.

A humidifier. Get one cheap at a drugstore.

A humidifier usually works pretty well for me.

Use a humidifier. You can get one for about $25.00.
