    I was only questioning the 'governments instructions'... hopefully no one took offense, just having some fun.

    no offense taken at all. great discussion on different opinions! actually more interesting than anything on tv. strange how my government can mandate a tool that will be made in china be included in a purchase i make here in the states that supposed to be in the price, but i know i'm paying for it.

    No free lunches, no matter how "dry" or poked full of holes by a sharp two pointed tool.....

    I actually wanted to know more about stacking wood than moisture meters; although with the wood you are interested in the moisture content in the centre so yes, you split a piece open to test.

    if you stack well enough to last 3 years there is less need for the meter because the wood is so dry is what i gather. just another tool for you to use in the hunt for the best burn. happy day

    Kimberly You are correct stating that water does not conduct electricity. I have seen water used for cooling a television transmitter where the water was circulating around probes of different voltages. We are talking around 15KV to 30KN with no conduction between the different spots. The water being used was not your typical tap water. It was ultra pure, deionized and constantly monitored for a certain resistance. It was also rather corrosive.

    I have made dehydrated water; just add water and you have instant water.

    Now it's time for :popcorn:. Reminds me of learning that electricity doesn't travel 'through' the wire but around it. Just when you think you know what's happening... there are two or three more levels of understanding.

    You need to add di-hydrogentated oxygen.:cool: Depending on how much you want, simply add more.
