Spend lots of money for the heating bills.
I have an electric heater in Texas and my wife complains about the bills
The only way I know to get the water vapor out is to run an air conditioner at the same time.
Defeats the heat but takes out the water quickly.

If you run the exhaust directly outside it will get rid of the water, but you would need to run a fan around the exhaust to retain the heat.
Everything costs more.

I hear you. I have a wood stove in my shop. It burns mountains of waste, nice dry heat, free fuel (not including labor). I "wood" not have it any other way.
