Hello all-
I've done some searches, but to my surprise, have found only scattered remarks, not any run-down
I know I can get some ElCheapoGrande from Harbor Freight or off of eBay- which I doubt will be very accurate and I also tend to think, based on prior experiences with cheap tools/ electronics, may not last long.
The cheapies also seem to have a limited range of moisture % that only covers the range between almost seasoned and well seasoned-
I'd like something that also can tell me where I start with fresh cut wood, so I can grow to understand how the different species of wood progress towards full dry, and how fast, under different storage/ weather.
I also do not need and cannot afford any kind of lab/pro grade unit.
Any nominations for something that can fit the above bill for a serious amateur?
Thanks, as always, for all the help and camaraderie around Hearth
