Dick, Thanks for the shout out!! I also have a Toptes, saw everyone going to them a few months ago and I had to see for myself, what all the fuss was about.

@Old Guy Firewood I understand that completely. I'd like to add that I appreciate you going into how the meter works versus just showing it in us. The meter I currently use has a hardwood setting and a softwood setting, which is one of the reasons I chose it. Thanks again for sharing.

I have to tell you, Dick you did an amazing in depth review on that moisture meter. It definitely seems heads above the rest of the meter‘s out there. I love the fact that it has the background colours which immediately tell you if the wood is dry and ready to sell. 2 thumbs up !!

Hi obie. The General has always worked ok for me. I liked the calibration points in the top cover. The beefier probes on the TopTess plus the species selector simply make it a bit better.

Great video Dick. I’m still doing the way the old school guys taught me, fell when the sap is down, cut and split ✅and stack in a ventilated shelter for a year or so, too something about hearing them hit together. One thing for sure, that fisher stove will let you know if the wood is damp. Keep up the good videos. 👏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Before you buy any meter check the reviews, not just the good reviews but the bad reviews. If you see a higher percentage of bad reviews you may want to steer clear of that purchase.

Thanks for watching. I don’t understand the electronics but some wood, like ash, are dry enough to burn with a slightly higher water content than say oak. The meter adjusts for that difference.
