They are a very common battery and I have at least twenty things in the house that use the same ones.
The last 50 I bought cost me $7.64 cents, shipping included.

Well I picked up a meter this afternoon after work since I have a scrounging project tomorrow, so I needed it asap to know which way to haul the wood-To my house or my parents place for seasoning. Being in town I'm limited on storage space. Ended up with the SBI (re-branded General) as the one at Menards was out.
I Played with it a little and confirmed my oak was at 25% as stated and found my other oak that I thought was too wet to actually be drier (20-22%)
! So now my mind is at ease and I have more wood than I thought for this winter! And if I can round up another 2/3-3/4 of a cord or so tomorrow I should be set for a full winter! Thanks again for all the input guys!

To be fair mine does wiggle in better on logs ive split myself.
Maybe the kiln dried ones just get really hard in the kiln.

Used Delmhorst J-lite (eBay). May find one on the upper end of $60. Picked mine up for $80. Well made and pretty accurate.

After I broke my first meter from putting to much pressure on it. I now after splitting a piece of wood, tap two small holes with a hammer and nail. Little more time consuming but the pins will last much longer.

What happen to all the anti moisture meter posts?
Normally in a thread like this in this forum there would be at least half a dozen posts about how moisture meters are useless, and they are too inaccurate to be of any use, and that they are unnecessary because all you have to do split and stack your wood for 3 years, or just bang two pieces of wood together to tell if it's seasoned or not, etc, etc...
I just skimmed through the whole thread and not one anti MM post,,,,,, what's going on?

The three year school moved on, I believe. On the eve of the Apple 6 coming out. Lol.
I went to a class the other night on how to use my new cellphone and everyone there looked liked members of AARP.
Gadgets are simply fun to play with. A cellphone with a moisture meter? Or a moisture meter that I can watch YouTube videos on?

I snagged a Dusiec Model MD812 off of ebay @ $15 shipped. Came with a case and a extra set of pins, seems to do a good job.
