How to Use a Moisture Meter for Firewood Lumber

[@robertgundersen3926]

My ground is pretty steep. Any videos for steep ground would be awesome

[@chuckgoff8804]

Love the photo bombing turkeys in the background at the end of the video!

[@SteveSnowman]

Nice demo, thanks. I like burning Doug Fir too. Fun-Fact ; This winter, I tested a 2in x 2in piece of Tamarack at 14%, brought it into the house, dried it even more by sitting it on the wood stove for awhile. Retested it and my meter reading was non-detectable. - N Idaho -

[@BobPfohl]

I really like your videos and the way you talk, good information and common sense. I have been burning fire wood for about 40 years now, can tell the moisture level of it when I pick up a piece, the wet ones are heavier than the dry ones, duh! And it works for me.

[@WilsonForestLands]

That’s the only way I knew how to do it too until I recently heard of moisture meters. We are in an age where common sense is being replaced by electronics.

[@johnfahey7215]

my moisture meter is rapping two pieces of wood together. if it clacks, it’s good to go . if it thumps, probably not. thanks for the good content.😀👍

[@robertbrennan7335]

Hi Michael, I’m from Scotland and right now I’m visiting Turkey on vacation with my wife and grandchildren. Like your videos especially the wood mixer it like therapy to an old retired welder.Happy thanksgiving to you all in the colonies.👍😎

[@Bushman9]

I want this. The last tractor battery I bought came with a warning not to drink the battery acid inside of it. Phew… that was close. Was just about to mix me a cocktail. 😁

[@jimc9309]

I want this I had to show my wife the video that had the top of the tree blown out by aliens. I liked and I subscribed.

[@MrHern2430]

A person once told me, never put anything in an email you wouldn't want your mom reading. So, applying that logic, I'd say don't give her any wood you wouldn't be willing to show her the moisture content meter reading for. Or maybe you could just ignore the warnings, feed the meter to a bear, and give whatever wood you want to your mother. Just give her extra hugs as you might not get anymore for a while. Wait, what was the question again?

[@WilsonForestLands]

I don’t remember the question either. But your answer sounded good.

[@FLPhotoCatcher]

I want this. I have a cheap sawmill, and often wish I had a quality one like you have. The repairs I have to make, and the hassles of poorly designed features make sawmilling a big chore for me. Anyway, I appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@duanemast4904]

I want this. I love your channel and the work you do felling trees and winching the logs. Keep up the good work.

[@sasquatch3945]

At its basic level, that is a resistance meter - as in the thing any multimeter will provide. The more water, the less resistance. A regular multimeter will do the same thing, however this meter has already done the math for what resistance means in terms of water saturation.

[@27Tenebrae]

Best video on moisture meter I've watched, you mum should be very proud of you. 👍

[@MsdMakingSawDust]

A moister meter is one of the best tools when running a sawmill business. Nice !!

[@aweyeahstin]

Great giveaway! A moisture meter was my first firewood investment and I have used mine heartily

[@yenerm114]

-I want this -always wanted one, just never wanted to spend the money 👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@wooddogg8]

I want this! I have a really cheap pin style, this looks much nicer. I get all my wood in slab form from a guy with a mill... Much like yours. It's all air dried

[@toddduncan4071]

I want this!! Wow this would be super useful and much appreciated!! Thank you kindly and congratulations to the winner!

[@jamesmorgan6782]

I WANT THIS sweepstakes. I just saw your pre- thanksgiving turkeys in the background.your puns are a real relief to hear. I wonder what we would do without Chianusium. Your puns are a welcome relief . Thanks for a great video.

[@robertkennedy3632]

I want this. I started watching the channel a while back and really enjoy it

[@WhiteyTheIronMonger]

I want this. And more of the mushroom production. You have a ton of great content.

[@edwinlikeshistractor8521]

I want this. I am also glad you didn't check the butt end moisture level after sitting on the tailgate.

[@tylersebastian6649]

I want this! I have also been told 20% is a good starting point, but the closer to 15 the better. Another trick I was taught if you dont have a moisture meter, for doug fir, if the bark is falling off your rounds, its ready to burn. Enjoy the content! Thanks!

[@user-vq3ez2cg5x]

I could certainly use the Toptes moisture meter

[@user-ey2ns7ee3c]

I want this! Thanks for the great vids!

[@ratfarmers]

I want this. It would be awesome to use with lumber and firewood!

[@billbezzant3033]

I want this. Thank you from one newbie to another moisture meter newbie. I really enjoy the experience and tips you share, and the beautiful environs.

[@pushpipe]

I want this. My sawmill should arrive in January.

[@terryk3118]

I want this! Enjoyed the video.

[@tonelow085]

I want this. I’m about to start putting 1” material in a cabin that I’m building and like you I’ve never needed a moisture meter before so that would definitely come in handy for the trim on the inside.

[@viralprimenetwork]

his was a very informative video. Thank you for sharing it with us. Keep it up! 😁🥰

[@nutmagnet22]

I want this. really enjoy your videos.

[@williamemerson1799]

I WANT THIS, and my 51 Harley back. 👍🍻

[@moneymcnasty]

I want this! Love the videos. Thank you.

[@lpeterman]

After purchasing a new toy, I (usually) check the user's guide. After hitting the highlights, I then jump in trying out the device, sometimes to my detriment... I do plan on getting a moisture meter, but it's pretty low on the priority list. The bird and bat boxes I build are too compact to allow much in warpage, and I don't build with green lumber, so medium moisture isn't generally an issue. The Turkeys in the background (12:05 mark) are wanting in on the give-away! Good luck to someone in the giveaway. Cheers from a moisture-meter-less neighbor in Linn County.

[@VicsYard]

December and January are our wettest months. Not sure I want to start in the wet weather. If it continues being droughty like the last few years I might get started if we get a good stretch of dry weather.

There was a turkey in the background of your video at the end. More like a cameo appearance. And no, I am not calling you a turkey... That turkey is taking its chances with Thanksgiving so close for you in the USA.

[@trentlang403]

I want this, pretty please

[@AppalachianFarmstead]

I want this ‼️. I’ve heard the same 20 percent number about firewood.
