Manor Moisture Meter

Ensure your firewood is ready for optimal burning with the Manor Moisture Meter – a compact, user-friendly tool designed to help you measure the moisture content of your logs and firewood with precision and ease. Using properly seasoned wood is essential not just for efficient heating but also for protecting your stove, flue, and chimney from unnecessary damage.

At just 185g boxed, this lightweight device is an indispensable companion for any stove or fireplace user, whether at home or in a professional setting.

Key Features:

• Accurate Moisture Readings:
  The Manor Moisture Meter quickly tests the moisture level of your logs, helping ensure they are dry enough to burn cleanly and efficiently.
• Improved Heating Performance:
  Burning unseasoned or “green” wood can result in poor heat output, increased smoke, and excess tar buildup in your chimney or flue. This meter helps prevent those problems by confirming your logs are below the recommended 20% moisture level.
• Preserve Stove Glass & Chimney Health:
  Using dry wood helps prevent soot and tar from blackening stove glass and causing creosote buildup, which is a major cause of chimney fires.
• Easy-to-Use Interface:
  Features a clear digital display and intuitive controls, making it easy for anyone to take accurate moisture readings in seconds.
• Compact & Portable:
  Small enough to carry in a tool bag, drawer, or pocket, the moisture meter is ideal for use at home, while stacking logs, or even when purchasing firewood.
• Durable Design:
  Built to withstand regular handling, the device is housed in a robust casing to ensure reliable performance over time.

Q: How do I use the moisture meter?
A: Simply press the metal probe pins into the wood (ideally a freshly split piece), and the digital screen will show the moisture percentage. For best results, test multiple logs.

Q: Can I use this meter on other materials?
A: While primarily designed for firewood, it may be used on other types of wood or materials, though accuracy may vary depending on density.

Q: How often should I test my logs?
A: It’s recommended to test your logs regularly, especially if you’ve stored them outdoors or are unsure of their seasoning time. Always test before burning.
