Review: Brilliant Device - Simple to use, easy instructions.
Review: Good inexpensive pin-style wood moisture meter - This is an inexpensive pin-type moisture meter that works well for casual use. If I were a building scientist testing wood for structural reasons or rot, I would probably order a better quality, name brand moisture meter. But for the money, and for casual use, such as checking firewood dryness, this works well. Burning well seasoned firewood is super important, and this tool is a great aid. POSITIVES: -Quite inexpensive for the quality. Gotta credit China for decent, inexpensive electronic assessment tools. -Appears to be reasonably accurate. Testing in different parts of a freshly split firewood piece showed different moisture levels according to how the wood looked (more moist vs. dry sections). -Includes a hard case, as well as a hard plastic cover for the plastic pins. -Compact and easy to use. -Turns on and gives a digital reading quickly. -Includes a 9 volt battery. NEGATIVES (none of these are deal-breakers) -Doesn't save the "mode" wood choice -- each time it is turned on, the user must scroll through the 4 choices to select the most appropriate wood type. But not a big deal. -The brand "Proster" is rather no-name, like of lot of similar Chinese brands selling inexpensive electronic items. No real warranty or product support. -Included battery is not alkaline. We'll see about battery life. -Wood choices are somewhat unusual for North America -- lots of tropical woods. All in all a solid choice.
