Wood moisture meters
« on: November 08, 2011, 08:49:40 PM »
Hey folks,

Not certain if I have this topic on the correct page, but it does involve firewood.  I'm in search of a good , but NOT too expensive wood moisture meter.  I'm will to pay up to $80.00 for a good meter.  Any suggestions out here???

Thank you in advance.

From what I have seen the cheap ones at Harbor Freight read pretty much the same as ones that cost over $100. They are around $10 at Harbor Freight.
