he uses for a few of his recipes: Wrap your starter with a couple towels then set it on a heating pad on the counter top. It won't have the moisture you're generating, but the temperature will stay consistent. Not really sure you need the moisture anyway, just cover the container with plastic wrap which will hold moisture in but give when the gas pressure builds.
Your oven is filled with moisture every time you bake, roast, or broil. I wouldn't worry about it.
true, but not like this. it sweats to the point that I have put a towel over the interior hinge so it doesn't leak into cabinetry.
and the green mold that forms on the oven racks. Guess I could remove them, just a bit of a pain to store.

Mold in your oven sounds scary.

covered the sponge jars with paper towel so the mold or phunk doesn't drop.
but the difference that a high amount of moisture makes in both the rise and rise time it's rather large.
