Well it sat uncovered with no bark on Sunday in snow and I split it Monday still damp in 38 degree weather. So maybe it's even more dry than 16%.
Well good news on the Red Maple...it's definitely Oak. Not a Maple leaf in sight.
I stabbed quite a few splits all with the same reading. The more expensive meter has pretty sharp pins, so they stuck in there pretty good without...
So I recently split this Cedar that has been down for 2 years. At first look at that bright pink wood, you would think that is very wet wood. Two...
Thanks. I'll do that to the pieces that I can't split right away.
I have an electric splitter, but it tends to choke on the Maple. I really wish I had somewhere to store a gas splitter. It's just not in the cards...

Is this Black aka Sweet Birch? Please say yes and make me a happy happy girl.
This an older Hearthstone Heritage. I had to take the baffle out today to look at something, and the floating piece in front of the burn tubes was...
thanks!
