Moisture meter recommendation

[Dmitry]

I don't trust moisture meter that came with my insert. Seem flimsy and very basic , pins got loose etc. Can you, guys, can recommend one of your favorites ?

The only MM I've ever used is my $10 one from HF. Without proper correction factor for a given species, they're all "ballpark" devices, so high-priced pseudo-precision, to me, is nothing to get worked up about. Mine serves mainly to help calibrate my internal MC "sensors".

Come burning season, wood stacked next the stove for a few days will be so dry, it won't matter. MM might help in choosing what to bring in. Might not.

My cheapo Harbor Freight has been working for two years now. I'm sure it's not 100% dead on balls accurate, but I don't get any creosote, so it must be working OK.

The cheapie ones work fine, just take a bit of car not to twist them when inserting. All you need is to be 'close' in your readings.
