Valiant Moisture Meter

The Valiant Moisture Meter will measure the moisture content of any wood, enabling the selection of fully seasoned wood to give a fire with less smoke, reduced chimney deposits and lower environmental pollution. Using seasoned wood also generates greater heat output and efficiency. Fuel quality is the single most important aspect of making a successful fire. To burn effectively the moisture content of firewood needs to be less than 20%, whether it be an open fire or in a stove. Freshly felled timber has a moisture content of between 30% and 60%, depending on the type of wood. All wood should be split and stored under cover from the rain and open to wind and sun so it can dry for at least one year, preferably two. The Valiant moisture meter can also be used in timber, floors and buildings in order to detect and measure moisture content.
