The Moisture Meter is a simple but highly practical fireside tool designed to help check whether logs are dry enough to burn efficiently. By testing the moisture content of firewood before use, it helps customers make better fuel choices, improve stove performance and reduce some of the most common problems caused by burning unseasoned wood.
One of the main reasons to use a moisture meter is to avoid burning logs that contain too much moisture. Unseasoned wood produces less heat, making the fire less efficient and reducing overall performance from the stove or fireplace. It can also contribute to chimney tar build-up and blackened stove glass, both of which are common issues when fuel quality is poor.
The recommended moisture content for logs is 20% or less, and this handy tester allows you to check the wood before buying or burning it. That makes it especially useful for customers who want greater confidence in the quality of their firewood and who want to avoid the wasted cost and poor performance that can come from damp logs.
Compact and straightforward to use, the Moisture Meter is a useful accessory for anyone with a wood burning stove, multi-fuel stove or open fire, helping support cleaner burning, better heat output and improved day-to-day appliance care.
