    For the benefit of anyone coming across this in the future, to save you finding it the table mentioned can be found halfway down this page: https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/92256-moisture-content-measurements-logs/page/3/#comments

    I was also going to add that I know the meters are not very accurate. But as a novice I don't think it can do any harm using one, so long as I keep the inaccuracy in mind, and also use it wisely (compare with other wood, get a sense of how it reads things relatively, visually inspect the wood and knock two bits together, etc). Cheers

    How bizarre! I have a two screen PC set up and was literally looking at the graph on the other screen when your reply came in!

    Hi all I'm getting a stove installed in a few weeks... Can't wait! We've got some 3 year old ash and oak that hasn't been chopped yet. It spent it's first 18 months or so in the elements but has since been under a tarp. I'll be getting to it in the next few days but once processed I'll want to check it for moisture content. If it's too high I can buy some logs in for now and use that next year. I ordered one of these as it seemed to get good enough reviews: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003CSNV2Q/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza But I then started reading about "wet basis" vs "dry basis" and I've ended up right confused! Can anyone explain it to me, and especially what I need and what this unit is likely to be. I've asked on Amazon and been told it likely gives measurements on a "dry basis". Many thanks

    Hi Just a couple of thoughts... - Are the tiles fitted to a solid floor? If not, what's beneath them? - Will the metal surround be staying and if so what's the depth and width of that? With the stove already installed, there's no-one to satisfy as such and so HETAS and building regs aren't as important. OTOH, for insurance purposes and if you came to sell the house, being compliant may become more of an important factor. That's all based on what I've read rather than any actual experience. Cheers
