Recommendations for moisture meter

[Simpson]

Couldn't seem to find any good posts focused on moisture meter reviews. I'm new to burning and just bought my first cord, but i'm worried about it being wet after everything i've read. On Amazon there is some popular ones but i'm looking for any first hand recommendations! Thanks!

I use these. Work fine. Cheap.

25 dollars is fine, no need to spend more than 50 bucks for cordwood.

If you got some 8/4 mahogany seasoning in the garage for furniture or similar, start shopping at $400 and up.

I bought a 10$ ( 5$ on sale) one from aliexpress it measures the same as my friends expensive meter.

I personally like my newer one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KY2QQ6G/?tag=hearthamazon-20
They all work on the same principle. Accuracy is not an issue. Just get a 2-pin model. The biggest difference will be mechanical robustness. I broke my first one because I pushed too hard. General Tool seems to have a good rep overall for a bit more money than the cheapest ones.

I have that one, too. Seems to work OK but I don't really have anything to compare it to so I can't vouch for its accuracy. Mine seems to be tough on batteries and drains them when it has been sitting idle for a while.
