do i need a moisture meter?

i'm going to burn what i have till i am warm

I mean as i work to get two years ahead i'll still use the oldest stuff i have first but do i need to buy a do i moisture meter, because i plan to burn the oldest stuff i have first no matter what

as a side note i know it's an extra tool such as the IR thermometer (that i bought) and the chain sharpener (that i bought) and the rutland stove top thermometer

so do i need another tool?

"Need" - probably not - I'm in about the same situation you are, in that I'm trying to get ahead on my supply, and I just burn the oldest stuff I've got... I haven't gotten one yet... (I also don't have an IR thermometer. I do have one of the HF chain grinders, but I almost never use it now that I know how to hand file....)

At the same time, it's another cool toy to have.

No.

I've got a 30 year undefeated streak in burning firewood and until a month ago I'd never even heard of them.
