No, a ventless gas heater won't produce nearly as much moisture as an atomizer designed for use in a greenhouse. I could prove it by calculating the gallons per hour of water produced by burning 30,000 BTU of methane but, at the moment, I am too lazy. You should know from your own experience that a wide open stove burner, which is about 10,000 BTU, won't raise the humidity in your kitchen nearly as much as a pot of water over low flame, about 1000 BTU.
I was thinking a tabletop atomizer not a atomizer with its own 1inch water supply.

See your position though.
