Let's See Your Woods Moisture Reading.

[Torch68]

As a lot of us wood jockeys up North are just starting into the heating season it is always good to see how well the wood is seasoned. I just brought a load in from the field this reading is from the center after I split it in half.

Rolling blue flames from dry wood is a beautiful thing to see in the stove.

Don't have a MM but my 2yr stored ash has those blue flames also.

there's just enough moisture in my wood with 3 = split quarters in the stove to make you sweat !! if you stand to close??

Oh goody... another moisture meter thread.

Sorry Whitespider I will make sure I vet any post through you first before posting.

 

[Whitespider]

Why are you apologizing?? (I sure-in-hell wouldn't) Heck man, I don't run the show here.
You can make any post you want, .and I can respond any way I want... where is all this sensitivity coming from??
There ain't no need to vet anything through me... I don't count for cold owl crap, I'm just a guy with a keyboard (and a lot of time to kill 'cause of weather).
I flat don't get it... what good is a board such as this if everyone agrees?? If there ain't some disagreement, there ain't nothin' to talk about.

Yeah... Ok... that's some dry wood man‼ And that moisture meter proves it‼

Looks like your the sensitive one enough said.

Mastercraft tester in ash that's been sitting in the basement for a couple of days. 15%

Same piece using a Delmhorst J-88 says 15% also.

Mastercraft on spruce 2x6. 11%

Delmhorst on spruce 2x6 tested 12%.

 

[Whitespider]

...enough said.

Seriously??

You've obviously never seen any of Whitespider's post pertaining to moisture meters or wood seasoning, for a matter of fact as soon as I saw the thread I knew he would be by shortly.

Well, your going to have to ask my wife........

We're burning some 5 year old Camphor right now that was registering 0%. Yesterday it was eucalyptus that was measuring 8%. Also been burning some Mulberry that has been split for a year, but still measuring 16%. Go figure

Yeah Spidey its much better when you bore the crap out of us with how to set up a wood furnace!!!!!

..waiting for someone to post an audio file of two pieces being clanked together...

Idea for the ultimate argument thread!!

New splitting axe made with an exotictanium head, and synthetic handle. Inside the head is embedded moisture meter sensors, that automagically use a laser..uhh..wood species identifier. The embedded gadget chip compensates for everything, altitude, species, coriolis effect, friction heat from splitting, you name it. It bluetooth uploads all this data to your I thing, then rapapatappytalk uploads it in spreadsheet form to the cloud. Plus, it prints and attaches (with each swing) a barcode with embedded RFID chip to each piece for tracking purposes so the EPA can send you a bill for your legal,lawful splitting fees you are required to pay (after permit application and approval and inspection by an authority figure) and informs you which stove you are permitted, again more fees, to burn it in, and also which locale (another fee).

C'mon zogger, the Coriolis effect has no impact on the view of a moisture meter (unless you get pizzed at it, and throw it into the weeds)... don't be addin' stuff we don't need here

Well..you need it because of ..uhh..the polar shift and jet stream changes alter the gravitronic readings with the ...species identifier..ya, that's the ticket....

Bwaaa. the most accurate method I've seen so far.
