Before use, inspect the moisture meter for any visible damage and ensure the batteries are correctly installed. Simply insert the prongs into the firewood or lumber and allow the device to register the moisture content. For best results, use the meter on multiple pieces of wood to obtain an average reading. Avoid using the device on wet surfaces or in excessively damp conditions to maintain accuracy and prolong its lifespan.
Knowing the moisture content of firewood is crucial as it impacts how efficiently your stove burns the wood. Well-seasoned wood burns hotter, produces less smoke, and is more environmentally friendly.
A Firewood Moisture Meter works by inserting its prongs into the wood. The device then measures the electrical resistance, which varies according to the moisture content. The result is a moisture percentage reading.
Firewood should ideally have a moisture content of less than 20% for optimal burning. Wood with higher moisture content will burn inefficiently, producing less heat and more smoke.
Yes, the Firewood Moisture Meter can be used for various types of wood, not just firewood. It's also useful for checking the moisture content in lumber and other wooden materials.
Our Firewood Moisture Meter is highly accurate, providing precise readings that help you make informed decisions about your firewood’s usability.
Absolutely, the Firewood Moisture Meter is designed for ease of use. Simply insert the prongs into the wood, and the device gives a quick and clear reading of the moisture content.
Minimal maintenance is needed. Keep the prongs clean and check the batteries regularly to ensure accurate readings. Store it in a dry place to avoid any potential damage.

Your Ultimate Guide to the Firewood Moisture Meter
When it comes to optimising the performance of your wood stove, ensuring that your firewood is well-seasoned is paramount. The Firewood Moisture Meter from National Flues is engineered to provide fast, reliable, and accurate moisture readings, which is essential for maximising heat output and minimising waste. Below, we offer a detailed executive guide that covers everything from its features and benefits to practical installation tips, helping you decide why this is the right tool for you.
Why Seasoned Firewood Matters
Wood that is not adequately seasoned contains excessive moisture. Burning wet firewood results in lower heat output, higher energy consumption, and increased emissions such as smoke and creosote. Using well-seasoned wood not only enhances the efficiency of your heating system but also contributes to a cleaner, eco-friendly burn. The moisture meter provides a clear percentage reading, letting you know exactly when your firewood is ready to burn.
Key Features and Their Benefits
Accurate Measurements: The moisture meter delivers precise readings, making it easy to determine the moisture content of your firewood. This accuracy ensures that you only burn wood that is optimally seasoned, leading to improved combustion and better energy efficiency.
Simple Operation: With its user-friendly design, all you need to do is insert the prongs into a piece of wood. Within moments, you'll receive a clear moisture percentage. This ease of use means that even those unfamiliar with advanced wood-burning tools can quickly become proficient users.
Versatility: The device isn’t limited to firewood alone. It can also be used on lumber and various other wooden materials, making it a versatile addition to your tool kit. Whether you are a homeowner, a DIY enthusiast, or a professional tradesperson, this tool is designed to meet your needs.
Durable Construction: Built to last, the moisture meter is constructed from high-quality materials that can withstand the demands of regular use. This robust design ensures that the meter remains a reliable tool season after season.
How to Use Your Moisture Meter
Using the moisture meter is straightforward:
1. Preparation: Ensure that the device is in good working condition and that the batteries are fresh. Clean the prongs if necessary.
2. Measurement: Insert the prongs into a sample piece of your firewood, taking care to select a spot with a representative sample of the wood.
3. Reading: Wait a few seconds for the device to stabilise, then note the moisture percentage displayed. For the most accurate results, test multiple pieces and average out the readings.
4. Interpretation: A moisture content below 20% typically indicates well-seasoned wood, which burns more efficiently and produces less smoke.
Common Questions and Concerns
Is the meter difficult to use?
Not at all. Our moisture meter is designed with simplicity in mind. Even if you are not particularly tech-savvy, you will find that getting a moisture reading is as simple as inserting the prongs.
Can this tool be used for different types of wood?
Yes. While it is primarily marketed as a firewood moisture meter, its design and functionality allow it to measure the moisture content in various wood types, including construction lumber and other wood materials.
What if the readings vary?
If you encounter differing moisture readings, it is advisable to take several measurements from different parts of your firewood stack. This will help in determining an overall average, ensuring that you have a comprehensive understanding of your wood’s condition.
How do I maintain the device?
Maintaining the moisture meter is simple. Regularly check the battery status and keep the prongs clean. If used in damp or harsh conditions, ensure you wipe down the device afterwards to prevent any long-term damage.
