As for your question about the UTH, yes that will raise the surface temp on the cool side but it may not raise the ambient temp much...only way to know for sure is to try it out.

You can also put the water bowl right under the CHE which will cause more evaporation and raise the humity (a larger water bowl can also help with this)
So can I take this to mean that if my humidity is too high it might be helpful to use aspen shavings instead of newspaper?
