I am thinking of buying a moisture meter. I was wondering what you guys recommend, which do you like better, which are more accurate, which will be suitable for just checking firewood ? I have seen 2 prong and 4 prong, read some say the 2 prong are easier to use but the 4 are more accurate. Which kind do you guys have ? Read on another topic the ones from harbor freight are not very good and have some problems?

Thanks

I have a 2 prong meter from Harbor Freight and it's good enough for checking firewood.. If I were building furniture I'd say no but for firewood it does the trick cheaply..
