    I've been moving stacks to the shed a little at a time in the last week. Today I split a few of the biggest splits and stuck the meter on them. Alder was CSS in December & January of this last winter. The maple was CSS in January-february of 2018.
    Other than the one piece at 61%, everything is ready to go. 20190827_180748.jpg 20190827_180640.jpg 20190827_180713.jpg 20190827_180658.jpg 20190827_180727.jpg

    As Woodwidow stated the meter is upside down. Look at "19" on this screen and turn it upside down. "18" does the same blacktail
