Title: Moisture meter recommendations
Post by: LookMomNoSights on December 11, 2024, 09:20:29 AM

Can someone point me in the direction of a good moisture meter please,  or maybe a couple good options to choose from.  I do not own one as of now but I have some plans come spring time and I want to have everything I need by then.  Pretty certain the woods I have stock piled right now are going to be fine as I've purchased them from suppliers here and I've stored it in a manner where the MC probably hasn't or isn't changing much  (none of it is stuff I've cut myself, yet) but I want to get practice and in the habit of checking the MC's before I get ready to use the woods........   Thanks for any help here!

Research Ligo-mat meters. I you can afford one, look at pinless models over the pin type.

Thanks for the info ............ this will be a "buy once cry once" thing it looks like.  That's ok,  I subscribe to that principle   :biglaugh:
