When burning wood, one of the most important things to check is that it is properly seasoned first. Seasoning wood is the process of leaving it to dry so that the moisture content of it reduces to the right level. Ideally this should be less than 20%, otherwise you run the risk of generating a lot of smoke when you burn it. Unseasoned wood can also cause a build-up of creosote in your chimney. Plus, seasoned wood has a greater burning efficiency too.
The quickest and easiest way to work out the moisture content of your logs is to use a wood moisture meter. This handy little STIHL moisture meter has a clear display and simple controls to measure it in seconds. Simply turn it on and insert the metal spikes into the log, when the moisture gauge is in wood measurement mode. As shown in the video, the display will show the reading so you can tell quickly whether the log is ready to be used. You can also use this gauge to measure the moisture content in materials such as mortar or plaster, as well as the temperature.
