Canadian Guys - Moisture Meter CTC

[Offset]

Canadian Tire flyer for the week of March 6 to March 12 has moisture meters for sale at 50% off.

Not sure what 50% you get but it might be worth a look if you need one or a replacement for one you already have.

I seen that in the e-flyer I got yesterday, I'm going to check it out this morning, note that in "the wood shed" topic: Moisture meters a lot of talking about how good or bad they work. At 50% off I think I will take the chance and see for my self

I think they are great for the guy like me who doesnt have acreage to c,s,s and forget about it for 2-3 years. Lots of guys dont use them because they know the wood is below 20% by the time it hits the stove. I harvest trees from various exposures and situations and have limited space so I enjoy my meter.

I agree with you Seanm, I also get my wood from numerse sourses. I bought one yesterday at CTC,@ 50% off made it $39.99. Tryed it on a few different types of wood,hard, soft, green and dry seems to work good and accurate.

Plan on getting mine tomorrow Muskoka Guy if they still have any in stock. Great that you got one and that it seems to work well.

I got mine in Gravenhurst, If you go on CTC website you can check store by store to see how many are in stock

Picked mine up today at CTC. I was surprised at the moisture content in some of the wood I assume was really dry. I have already been warned not to stick it in the kitchen table to compare readings. This is science, we must know!!

Just remember to have the wood at room temperature and then split it just before taking a reading.

Thank you for the advice, I do not think I would have thought of that. Makes sense. Appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up on the kitchen table, If your a little brave, tell your wife you can check the moisture in her skin, warn her the probes are very sharp so be very gentle, if your really brave ask her to wet her finger first, LOL Just remember someone will be sleeping in the woodshed tonight
