Weighing IBC's

[Justme]

The easy way to measure % moisture lost; weigh them in... weigh them out

 

Without the % they start at does knowing they have lost X% help?

Hi JUSTME I was thinking that to thanks Jon

Why not just do what all the other guys with big kilns do and invest in a proper moister meter.

 

What does it matter what an ivc weighs if the wood is dry.

 

If you fill the ibc level when its dry there will be a 150mm gap where the wood dry outs and contracts

Are you saying use a moisture meter or measure the gap?? your post is unclear.

 

Its not about what it weighs, its about the change in weight

As do I John, but taking a log from each cage and waiting for it to cool, spitting and testing is time consuming (As I mentioned in my earlier posts)

 

This thread was simply asking if others had tried weighing as an alternative, nothing more, nothing less

Hi SKY I see your point if you had all ash cut to one size in IBC then oak then beech just work it out from meter then try and work back to weight thanks Jon
