regulation on seasoned wood guarantee weigh in gang

Requiring woodsellers to sell only seasoned wood would do nothing but drive up costs and fraud and drive many woodsellers out of business.

Requiring woodsellers to measure moisture content upon delivery, though, and give a on-the-spot reading-in-writing. That might work. 15%? 25%? 60%? All fine - Just disclose it.

Simply handing the card to customer educates them that they ought to be looking at something and the handful of customers that *own* meters should keep cheaters in check.

And apart from requiring the disclosure at all it keeps fools, er, politicians I mean, out of the process.

Part of our selling relies on the ability to prove our logs are less than 20%MC so I always carry a moisture meter and an axe to split the log in two. I find it better if you allow the customer to choose which log to split.

Its just business sense. We rely on our competitors selling wet wood and have never had to advertise our dry wood it just sells by word of mouth.
