    I never sell my wood as seasoned or dry. I just list when it was split. The customer can figure it out from there. Also I always carry a moisture meter on delivery.

    Agreed. The wood I'm dealing with now was on the 8 year plan. :stacker:Figured I didn't need the MM but "inquiring minds need to know".

    The MM can still be useful for determining new drying techniques effectiveness

    Absolutely. Among other uses too. It's a very valuable tool. A MM is also pretty much the only way to get the actual moisture content of wood.

    Considering the amount of time and effort I put into preparing a cord of stove-ready, fully seasoned wood, I'd have to sell it for twice the going rate and wouldn't get any buyers.

    This is the time of year to buy the semi seasoned or green wood for next year.
