Low priced general tools meter just arrived! I'm going around stabbing everything, even myself. Very interesting. Ash, pine, mulberry and maple out in well ventilated stacks coming in at 12 to 17 percent after just 4 months. That is right after splitting them down the middle today. However, the oak cut/split 15 months ago is coming up at around 25 percent. Cool, what we read here about red oak is right on. My "decorative" (for looks) wood left near the stove all summer in the air-conditioning is under 10 percent. I process my own wood but if I had to purchase current year fuel, I would not now do that without a moisture meter.
