Proster Wood Moisture Meter - Digital Moisture Detector Moisture Tester, Pin-Type Moisture Detector Damp Tester for Wood Firewood Paper Floor

This is an inexpensive pin-type moisture meter that works well for casual use. If I were a building scientist testing wood for structural reasons or rot, I would probably order a better quality, name brand moisture meter. But for the money, and for casual use, such as checking firewood dryness, this works well. Burning well seasoned firewood is super important, and this tool is a great aid. POSITIVES: -Quite inexpensive for the quality. Gotta credit China for decent, inexpensive electronic assessment tools. -Appears to be reasonably accurate. Testing in different parts of a freshly split firewood piece showed different moisture levels according to how the wood looked (more moist vs. dry sections). -Includes a hard case, as well as a hard plastic cover for the plastic pins. -Compact and easy to use. -Turns on and gives a digital reading quickly. -Includes a 9 volt battery. NEGATIVES (none of these are deal-breakers) -Doesn't save the "mode" wood choice -- each time it is turned on, the user must scroll through the 4 choices to select the most appropriate wood type. But not a big deal. -The brand "Proster" is rather no-name, like of lot of similar Chinese brands selling inexpensive electronic items. No real warranty or product support. -Included battery is not alkaline. We'll see about battery life. -Wood choices are somewhat unusual for North America -- lots of tropical woods. All in all a solid choice.

Works great. You have to press it very firmly into the wood, which can be hard with hardwoods like oak, but once you've got the probes in, it works just fine.

The Proster Wood Moisture Meter has a convenient size that fits in hand easily and is easy to use. The best cannabis application is monitoring moisture during the drying process because there's a wide moisture range and colas fit into the prongs easily. During curing, the hold function especially helps because the meter is upside down when inserting the probes into a curing container, which is typically metal. Would be 5 stars (a) if each selection gave consistent results for every available option (i.e. wood type) and (b) the cap could be used to confirm 0% RH. Everything considered, the Proster digital Wood Moisture Meter is highly recommended for measuring cannabis moisture.

Seems to work great on firewood.

This is very easy to use moisture sensor. It can be calibrated for the type of wood you're using. I use it for my wood stove to determine the readiness of my hardwood prior to burning.

I have been splitting firewood for decades and never realized how much moisture variation can be in one tree until I learned about and bought a moisture meter. Like how it can be set for various tree species. Sorted wood as I split it into stacks that were the right moisture to burn and those that needed more drying time. I used to think I could tell by picking up the wood as I split it, but the Proster wood moisture meter proved my prior gauge of good firewood to be wrong! The meter is small enough to fit into my hand and pocket easily, large enough read out screen to read easily, and fast in measuring moisture. Sturdy case, bright orange if it falls out of my pocket accidentally so I can spot it easily. And the price was very affordable. It has already paid for itself several times over cost! My only disappointment was the difficulty I have removing the protective cap that covers sensor points. Know it has to snap on snuggly to keep dust and dirt out, but my thumbs and hands need help from a thin prying tool to get it off. Carry a small pocket knife to assist in getting it started and leave the cap off while splitting when I can set it down in a convenient space. Worth the aggravation of popping off the top and I can adapt. Just have to be careful not to mess up the points or my fingers!

The tester works great but whoever packaged it for delivery needs to make sure the package is sealed so it won’t come opened. The package was 1/2 opened when it came. I have had two other times that I received an empty package and had to contact Amazon for a replacement.
