Hi all, I was wondering if there was any other reliable way to check moisture levels than a store bought moisture meter. I know of a way to check forage moisture levels using a scale and microwave, could this work on wood? Any other methods?

Some body posted that a while back and I thought they were kidding until I read it on the chimney sweep site, are you supposed to put soapy water on the end.BrotherBart said:The Morso user's manuals used to describe a method where you put your mouth against one end of a split and blow hard. If bubbles come out of the other end it isn't ready to burn. It is advisable to hide behind the woodpile so nobody sees you do it. But it actually works.
And yes, all of the jokes about blowing your own wood were used up here years ago.
The truth is BK should be along and tell you about drying the wood and weighing it.Dairyman said:Lol! I can see you guys have had some fun with this already.

Yes Dairyman, there is a very easy way. Split and stack your wood and don't touch it for 2-3 more years. Then burn it. It is a no-fail method and no instruments are needed except the normal saw and splitter.
