Excellent- thanks for posting that, I obviously had it wrong. English is merely my first language (still considering which one should be second), I just hope it is not my best language.... Brian
Or drive two nails fairly deep into the split and touch the MM probes to the nail heads- faster and easier than splitting a split to measure moisture IME. Brian
That dependents on the frequency of the current; the higher the frequency, the closer to the surface of the wire the current flows; AC of course.
I only stack this way when the wood shed it full. It's too time consuming. Stacking in the wood shed is quick and easy and I never have to worry about stacks falling over.
Nice, is that tyre for holding wood as you split it with an axe? I saw a video where someone used an old tyre to hold the wood as he split it.
Only problem with this theory that the mm don't lie is that if you put 3 or 4 meters on the same log, you'll usually get 3 or 4 different readings. Perhaps the more expensive ones may be better but I've seen a professional model and again, I questioned it. Mainly because we tested it more than once in the same log and got different readings. I will say that the wood we tested was very dry. I don't know what one would get if the wood was up around 20-25%.
That is one beautiful stack of firewood Dan! Looks like fresh cut red oak maybe? That's a nice view you have too....
Well, we all agree it is not rocket science. If one reading is 20% and another is 25%, then it is too wet. If one is 15%, and another is 18%, it is OK. The meter remains a useful tool, despite the insignificant inaccuracies. Remember, we are cutting the stuff with chainsaws, and maybe measuring with a stick, and throwing it in stacks in the yard to dry. Good enough is frankly good enough. Greg
