No, our understanding is that this needs a certain amount of density to work accurately.

Q:
Hi we are wanting a meter to measure moisture content on macadamia nuts The distance between probes are important and do all probes have to touch the medium to get an accurate reading What is the lowest reading does this meter go to?

Kent Digital Wood Moisture Gauge

I bought this as " this would be interesting tool" little did I realise that it would become an important accessory for our wood stove, the fire box isn't large so putting wet wood into it puts the fire out basically. We were delivered "dry fire wood" but quickly realised with the aid of the moisture tester that we needed to check each piece. Dry fire wood burns much better giving a more controlled temperature for cooking etc.

Wood Moisture Gage

Easy to operate, works as described, useful little tool for determining if your wood is dry enough to be coated or for checking firewood

Nic Wellington
Invaluable gadget!

Now that we are all more aware of the importance of being as sustainable as possible, firewood takes on more meaning! This quick and easy little gadget is well worthwhile to make sure you’re not being sold a dud load, &/or sorting your existing stocks into seasons.

Kent digital moisture gauge

Handy tool to have if you use firewood

Dave Woodend
Moisture gauge

Very handy to be able to let people know how much moisture is in the firewood before they put in order in and when its delivered to them you can show them just how dry it is and if it's good to burn or leave out side bit longer before its put away

Dibbles Waitara

Exactly what I expected.

I was sold damp wood last winter and decided to not to get caught again so bought the moisture gauge. It is simple to use and does what it says it will. The only problem is keeping track of the various friends with bad memories who borrow it.

Brendan Muirphy Dunedin
Very useful tool

I'm selling firewood, so this is useful to be able to show the moisture content of the wood. Quick and easy to use. And comes with a battery.
