Checking Firewood the Easy Way

Hey everyone! It’s Nixon from Timber Tree Service. We just delivered a rick of wood and I want to show you a cool tool we use. It’s a moisture meter from Harbor Freight, and it helps us make sure the firewood is just right.

How to Use the Moisture Meter

Let’s test it out! The log in this video measured 11% moisture. That’s really good because it means the wood is well below 20% moisture, which is what we look for. Wood with less than 20% moisture burns better and is safer for your fireplace. If your wood is over 20%, you’re going to have a hard time getting that sucker to burn.
